    @spuyet thank you for this!

    To answer your first question: most of the VPS are simple "sys" setups (although I custom partition). My dedis I use crypt/efi/sys.. Alpine's "setup-disk" cmd handles custom installs pretty well (for crypt, efi vs bios, and "normal" installs) but not custom partitioning so much.

    Hopefully that's helpful.

    Busy week of work for me, but will take a look at this asap and get back to you.

    No problem, take your time!

    Quick update: I just released temperatures in the dashboards, you can see all temperature of the servers or display only the ones you want (CPU, GPU, motherboard, etc)

  • spuyetspuyet Member, Patron Provider

    New update: you can sort your instances by status or build your own groups and order them as you like 🤓

  • spuyetspuyet Member, Patron Provider

    New update: Instances can now be set in maintenance mode so you won't get bombarded with alerts during planned software / hardware / security upgrades 👨‍🏭

  • spuyetspuyet Member, Patron Provider

    GPU monitoring just landed 🎉
    Quick update: the agent now supports NVIDIA GPU monitoring out of the box.
    What you get:

    • GPU utilization & memory usage
    • Temperature, power draw, fan speed
    • Per-process GPU usage (see which process is eating your GPU)

    Just update your agent, check the GPU monitoring setting, and if you have an NVIDIA GPU, metrics start flowing automagically.

    Works with dashboards and alerts like everything else, set a threshold on GPU temp or memory and get notified before things go south 🔥

    As always, feedback welcome here or on the webchat !

    So, just clarifying: I cannot monitor a host or site that I cannot install an agent on, correct? No ping polling of my friend's website that I host on shared infrastructure? No probing an exposed service port on a VPS to check external connectability? These are tasks for which I currently use UptimeRobot (free), but I'd like to have everything under one umbrella.

  • Any plans for a Windows agent btw?

    As of now that is correct. Hetrixtools has a PHP agent which works "OK" (running with cron every minute) and that's the most detailed I know of under those conditions. I would also love to have that though, my DA storage with hostbrr has similar restrictions.

    Just realized that I might have interpret your question too literally; there is an agent that does not need root perms - but it still needs to be set up initally

    I think that's different subjects:

    • External monitoring HTTP(S)/ICMP or TCP on any port with IP or domain

    This is planned, most probably in the next couple of months, but I'm currently 100% focus on making the server monitoring the best as I can first.

    • Agent that can collect metrics without being managed by a daemon

    Basically a cron triggered monitoring, I think I will need more info about your DA storage setup, it's an edge case that I need to spend time on.

    As the kids say; "based". :D

    Basically a cron triggered monitoring, I think I will need more info about your DA storage setup, it's an edge case that I need to spend time on.

    It's a DirectAdmin based system, ssh gets you rbash and everything is killed on logoff or shortly after (that's simplifying it but broad strokes).
    Whenever you've got time just tell me what info I can provide :)

    Hey, HTTPS/TCP/ICMP/DNS monitoring has just been released so you can connect all your websites, services, etc 🥳🥳

  • What are the metrics on the Vulnerabilities scan?

    This is a brand new VPS, nothing but the fivenines connector, apt update && apt upgrade right after installing, refresh and still some alarming number behind a paywall (and only in the Pro subscription).

    Hello send me your email in DM and I will enable you the feature for you for the next 7 days so you can have a look by yourself ;)

  • I have subscribed and set up a number of TCP and HTTPS uptime monitors to go with my VPS agents and the system is working well. Great work @spuyet!

    🥳 New update 🥳

    Proxmox integration has been reworked in depth, easier to navigate and use for people with big nodes clusters and thousands of nodes:

    Free accounts are going away on May 29th.

    On May 29, I’m retiring the Free plan on Fivenines.

    That means your current Free account will not continue after May 29 unless you move to a paid plan. New users will get a 14-day free trial of the Pro plan, then need to choose a paid plan.

    Why the change: Fivenines has grown into a serious managed product, with vulnerability scanning, workflows, uptime monitoring, cron monitoring, network monitoring, GPU monitoring, API access, Terraform support, and more.

    Keeping an open-ended free tier no longer makes sense, especially when excellent self-hosted tools like Uptime Kuma or Beszel already cover that use case very well.

    You have two options:

    1. Upgrade to Starter - €9/month
      15 monitors, 3 team members, Telegram/Discord alerts, and 6-month retention.

    Reply with “Starter” and I’ll help you upgrade or just go to the interface and pick the plan you want.

    1. Try the Pro plan free for 14 days
      All features unlocked: vulnerability scanning, workflows, API, Terraform, custom dashboards, and more.
      No credit card required.

    Reply with “Trial Pro”.

    If you don’t choose a paid plan before May 29, your Free account will lose access after that date.

    No magic button, no complicated process. Any question, just reply to this email: I read everything.

    Sébastien

    It's always sad to see freeware go paid but having seen the progress of this project both in regards to speed and scope I understand why it's a necessary step.

    @spuyet How will this affect the source code?

    A nice plan: offer free plan, gather user base, feedback and test product. If everything goes positive - remove free users.

    Hetrix so far is the best in regards of free tier.

    Good luck with your business.

    I'm like 99+% sure that early testers get to keep their special free accounts.
    So far Hetrixtools and Fivenines both have something the other one does not have, and they work well together so I'll continue that way. Considering testing Kuma or something else completely remote as well.

    Thanks for the feedback. No change on the source code, it will stay public and auditable.

    Thanks, appreciate your comment. The LET community has always be really kind to me and this project, I got tons of useful feedback and positive messages.

    Also, if you have a Fivenines account and you like the product but struggle with money, send me a message/email, I'm sure we can find an agreement.

    Just don't get me wrong - I would do exactly like you. That's how true, valid business ideas are implemented.

    Just a small suggestion: leave current free tier users (users which actually use free tier, not just lingering empty free accounts) with some legacy package with bare minimum amount of monitors. Just a nice "thank you for free testing and suggestions" gesture. In case any bitterness for someone.
