  It's own uptime.

  Yes, and you need another monitoring server to ensure your monitoring server is online.

  Exactly, double the headache just to have the monitoring system in control.

  I do a simple beszel for resource watching myself, and hetrixtools for all node uptime/downtime.

  For a free or very cheap VPS used for uptime monitoring, which security and reliability checks would you do first? How do you reduce false alerts and avoid putting sensitive credentials on the monitoring node?

  I use gcp and scaleway.
