Uptime monitoring service?
Hi!
While I was working in outsource agency, the last thing that we were doing was adding some sort of the monitoring service (UptimeRobot), rarely Pingdom, due to it's price, so we can know how our application performs over the time.
What are you using at the moment, as I believe that this is important part of almost every product? :)
I’ve used UptimeRobot a lot. It works well.
The main friction I’ve seen is pricing as you scale, especially with teams and needing to upgrade just to get 1-minute checks across more sites.
Curious what others are using as they grow.
Uptimerobot for accessibility, rollbar for alerts when something goes wrong but server still alive.
We use https://app.freshping.io
The free tier has more features than UptimeRobot.
You mentioned 'Application Monitoring' but talked about uptime/availability monitoring services which is very different from APM.
We use UptimeRobot for general site availability on all our web assets.
New Relic for detailed Application Monitoring on our web apps, which has been great for the past few years, though we are looking at AppSignal to get more details at a reasonable cost.
Hi @Devan,
You are absolutely right. I thought about uptime/availability, but wrote APM. Will edit the title, so we don't confuse anybody.
Thanks!
The most fully featured one I can think of that I want to use myself is https://ohdear.app/ constantly updating and always has exciting new features planned. Definitely worth a look at!
I use datadog. It monitors everything pretty much. Got set up to check servers health such as cpu, ram Apache health. Checks database replication and speed, and I've integrated into my application so get health and starts from with my own apps.
I always use PingDom. Maybe you can take a look at different services, like PingPing for example.
Also I'm building a free monitoring tool, not for uptime but more for performance.
