How do you monitor your vps uptime?

[WSWD]

You must be mistaken.  StatusCake is 100% accurate and never has any problems.

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'MongoCursorTimeoutException' with message '176.227.201.226:27017: Read timed out after reading 0 bytes, waited for 30.000000 seconds' in /home/Sites/StatusCake/App/Workfloor/Get.Hourly.Performance.php:12 Stack trace: #0 /home/Sites/StatusCake/App/Workfloor/Get.Hourly.Performance.php(12): MongoCursor->rewind() #1 /home/Sites/StatusCake/App/Workfloor/ListSites.php(74): GetHourlyPerformance('157897') #2 /home/Sites/StatusCake/App/Status.php(142): ListSites() #3 {main} thrown in /home/Sites/StatusCake/App/Workfloor/Get.Hourly.Performance.php on line 12

Doh!!!  My bad!

Been using Pingdom for years.

Well we prefer pingdom http://www.pingdom.com/

There are a few good providers in the below link though

We use JetServer Monitoring it comes in handy specially with WHMCS

Try the tool Anturis. It does a lot of various monitoring operations and it is surely easier than Nagios and cheaper than Pingdom.

 

[gabe_5gbps]

use monitor.us

 

[rupe]

use monitor.us

Just gave it a look and signed up to try it out. I then noticed that it doesn't use any secure connection at all, not even for signing in - tyring HTTPS just gives one an error page

So that's not going on any of my fave lists. As far as I'm concerned there is just no excuse for any web service not to have secure logins in at the very least.

Oh, and $9 for a load test that you can get for free (loadimpact.com - actually 2.5 x more simulated users too).

Pingdom has served me very well for the last few years. Love it!

We've been using StatusCake and frankly, quite happy with them except for their virtually non-existent support.
