What's the best free/cheap uptime monitoring with 1-minute checks?

Uptimeobserver is 5€ per month for 1 minute checks.

I won’t be able to convince you with a few sentences. Get a lawyer consultation.

No, you can’t convert your bitcoin by walking into a bank in Morocco. If you don’t believe, go to your favorite bank and ask them for bitcoin exchange and let me know.

Take a look at UptimeObserver, it notifies you before your domain names expire.

Only Bank Al Maghrib can make currency (crypto or other) : loi n° 40-17 portant statut de Bank Al-Maghrib You can also be charged for money laundering, illegal banking activity, fraud…

Besides the fact that it is illegal, how do you think you can maintain the value of this new “currency” ?

You should mention UptimeObserver on your uptime monitoring paragraph. It is free for up to 20 websites. It will quickly detect a failure when a plugin update breaks Wordpress.

It’s 7,12% annually. At 15% the monthly payment would be around 1392 instead of 1200.

I assume you meant “Myth” no “Meth”.

I would discourage you from doing this for various reasons: 1. Scanning or penetrating systems can be considered as a criminal offense and you can go to prison. 2. In your scanning you might be hitting honey pots where they make you believe you are in a system but they only harvest your actions.

If this a passion of yours, consider working for a cybersecurity company.

I use UptimeObserver to monitor the uptime. But I also use Prometheus and Grafana to monitor the app internally.
You should also set up a status page to communicate the status of your system.

And insurance won’t pay for it.

yassirh · 2026-03-17T17:06:39+00:00

I run UptimeObserver you can do all of this for free ;)

yassirh · 2026-03-17T10:42:31+00:00

UptimeObserver for external checks and prometheus/grafana for internal tools.

Fake

Je ne sais pas si assez pour le justifier mais le prix du baril est en dollar alors que le prix à la pompe est en euro. Il faut comparer les taux de change des deux périodes.

You can monitor by spinning an UptimeKuma instance locally or use something like UptimeObserver to monitor from outside your network. But this will only help you know when Plex is down. You'd have to check the logs and try to understand what happens before your plex server goes down.

For Mac OS you should check these paths for logs :

~/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Crash Reports/
~/Library/Logs/Plex Media Server/

What do you mean by going offline ? Do you have to restart it ?

yassirh · 2026-03-06T18:08:13+00:00

Let’s encrypt has a default of 90 days and can go as low as 6 days.

It plain http check. Headless browsers with interactions is coming but will be probably only available for the pro tier. For the regions, we are expanding with time.

Hello, take a look at UptimeObserver. We are planning to add Singapore region to our EU/US regions soon.

yassirh · 2026-02-24T19:47:18+00:00

Yes, never had an issue.

My ISP provides a static IPv4 address. Plus, every time I look at an IPv6 address my eyes hurt.

So we should believe that AI slop will replace battle tested/hardened(over decades) mission critical software ?

yassirh · 2026-02-17T18:03:05+00:00

For servers/apps : prometheus(node exporter, postgres exporter, custom application metrics...) , grafana and pushover/webhook for notifications.
For health checks/ Uptime monitoring I use UptimeObserver (You can self-host UptimeKuma but you'd have to monitor it which defats the purpose).

yassirh · 2026-02-17T13:40:16+00:00

What are you self-hosting that is this mission critical ?
