The closest may really is New Relic if you havent looked into that. You can monitor servers and applications individually, so have a list of IPs, their health metrics and even the associated applications. Plus it works with every major framework/language.
- mittermayr 9y agoThanks for the suggestion. I just checked New Relic's page, almost gave up on the "Pricing" drop-down, confused, but then did give up when I ended up at the "Request Demo" button. Ugh. Main reason I ask is I am on the verge of starting to build a(/yet another) small service to solve the problem. But I wanted to avoid re-inventing the wheel, especially on something so simple, it MUST exist over and over, I can't be the only one struggling with this. Btw. if you made forwardmx — congrats, it's a great tool, very well designed. I'm not a customer but it's bookmarked. Another one of those returning problems I have, e-mail forwards on side projects. Great solution.
- herbst 9y agoThanks for the nice words. Just working on a complete overhoul to actually offer a "complete" sideproject email solution, so keep a eye on it :) New Relic has a confusing onboarding, it takes a bit to get used to it. However it is actually "free" to use, only more logs and specific features are bound to costs. Curious to hear other options as well, hopefully someone knows something. I guess most tools offering something like this fall into server orchestration which is a lot more than i (and most likely you) are looking for.
