    One additional note, a feature request. Unless I'm missing something, the onboarding process seems pretty manual. A universal installer that dumps machines in to the account based on their hostname and then we can go back in and put a description if we need to.

    I signed up the other night to add a few boxes to the service and I'm impressed with the data collection - I think you've hit upon something that not many others are doing and if they are, they aren't doing well.

    I feel like your pricing is higher than everyone else, but that's anecdotal at best. If I move forward with my existing 30'ish servers, my pricing jumps pretty significantly, but I probably need to stop whining or wait for you to drop an insane coupon deal. :)

    Anyway - great product!

    Thanks you for the feedback, really appreciate it :)

    At the same price there is no competitors providing the same amount of data collection right now (Proxmox, KVM/QEMU, Docker, Fail2Ban, etc).

    Yeah, it's pretty manual for now indeed. Could you tell me more about how you think it could work best for you ?

    How I interpret their message (and because it's the way I think would make it easier and probably not unrealistically hard to implement) is that instead of getting one command per machine give one link with an UUID that is connected to the user account instead of the already created node.
    The backend would then create a new node based on the hostname (or some other parameter that would make sense) so that after executing said command you would go to the control panel where a "blank" node has been created and is ready to be configured.

    Makes sense, I will work on something like this 👍

    FYI, agent version 1.5.0 has been released and allow you to see all packages vulnerabilities across your nodes:

    This is Pro plan feature but if you're interested by giving it a try, just ping me!

    Very minor detail and maybe it's just me and my ocd talking, but on website under comparison with HetrixTools, it says "Metric collection intervals" and under FiveNines it says "up to five seconds". Shouldn't that say "down to five seconds"? Up to five seconds in my mind means everything below 5 seconds, not the other way around.
    I'm not a nativ English speaker so it could be just me, open for discussion. :smile:

    I just received this email about an outage in the service due to hardware failure and I just came here to say that this is how communication should be done. Providers, watch and learn!
    No excuses, just the facts, and in a timely fashion. What happened, what was affected, and what they are doing to make sure it does not happen again. Well done, very well done. :star:

    We had an outage today
    On February 26, Fivenines went completely down for about 2 hours. Here is the incident summary.

    What happened
    Our primary server at Hetzner suffered a hardware failure. It became unresponsive on February 26 at approximately 11:10 CET and was unable to boot. Hetzner replaced the server, transferred our drives to new hardware, and after resolving a network configuration issue on the new machine, we were back online around 13:25 CET.

    What was affected
    ✗ Monitoring data → Not collected during the outage window
    ✗ Dashboards → Unreachable
    ✗ False alerts → Some of you received false positives during recovery (11:10–13:20 CET)
    Your agents reconnected automatically. There will be a gap in your monitoring data between 11:10 and ~1:30 CET. No action needed on your end.

    What I'm doing about it
    ✓ Data cleanup → All the wrongly created incidents have been cleaned up
    ✓ Auto failover architecture → The secondary server is now in the same load balancer pool than primary. So a single hardware failure can't take everything down
    ✓ Better hardware monitoring → Automated checks at regular intervals could prevent this kind of issue from arising. This feature will be added to Fivenines
    You can get a precise timeline of the incident by checking the Status page.

    Somewhat ironic - monitoring service will setup better monitoring for monitoring :D

    Anyway, I sympathize investment into Hetzner given how expensive they become.

    Thanks @rcy026, really appreciate the kind words ! Though I have to say, I'd much rather earn praise for a cool new feature than for how well I handle things going sideways 😄

    You replied to my DM asking about the downtime the same minute I sent it. I think that's kinda something to point out :D
