   Simple tool

   I just needed an entry level tool to ping my sites and servers every minute and advise me if down so I can resolve the issue before the customer finds out.

   Also I didn't want to pay for checkers I didn't use

• Ask HN: How to do dead simple heartbeat monitoring?

  I've been very happy with https://updown.io. Reliable, very reasonable per-request pricing, easy to set up. The creator did a Show HN about a decade ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8712386. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• I'm building an uptime monitoring service for API workflows! Looking for some fedback.

  Each 'step' in a chain of API requests would consume 1 credit. 100% inspired by updown.io's pricing model, which I personally love: https://updown.io/#pricing. Source: 12 months ago

• How to Monitor a Livestream Broadcast?

  The part I am missing is a way to know when the stream goes down. I've tried updown.io monitoring, using Powershell to query the broadcast URL, but since the stream doesn't actually END, those all continue to see it as up even when its just spinning circles and not showing any actual video.

• service status plugin

  For a few bucks a month, we use updown.io and we put our page into an iframe for our server status like this - https://palmcoastdesigns.com/server-status. So not a plugin per say, but, it does what you are after. Source: over 2 years ago

• Two months in: How the SaaS that was built in 7 days is going

  I always think it's entertaining that the 200th uptime website that charges their users doesn't compare themselves to the actual competitor, it's not pingdom, it's updown, hundred of websites checked for the price of a buck a month: https://updown.io/. Source: almost 3 years ago
