Ask HN: Recommendations for website monitoring tools
Having been burnt this week by portions of our website going dark, and us not noticing for several hours, I'm after a service to do periodic health checks of our website; check various pages are up & serving appropriate content; then email/SMS me if not.
A quick google offers no end of people offering such services, but I can't find any useful comparisons of features or reliability, so I thought I'd try the combined wisdom of HN.
From my brief review http://siteimprove.co.uk look fairly reputable, but a touch more expensive than I'd expected.
Personally, UK-based sites are preferred, but I'm interested in all recommendations.
- arien 18y agoYou could try something like Nagios: http://www.nagios.org/ http://www.nagios.org/. It's not a remote service, you have to install and configure it, but it's wonderful.
- tow21 18y agoI certainly want to work up to something like that, but at the moment I have enough on my plate! I really want something reliable where I can just pay someone to do this for me, so I don't have to worry about it.
