NIXSTATS Alternative ?

yokowasis

Now Nixstats out of beta, any recommendation of the alternative ?

I am also looking for similar service but for Windows.

Thanks.

HetrixTools is great, I've got one of their BF deals. They've just launched a new PHP monitoring agent.

HetrixTools with Slack integration is great, also UptimeRobot.

Yes

Also, I didn't find any self-refreshing dashboard option in app. Possible to look at that too?

Unfortunately the mobile app is a long way down the road.

There is an auto refresh function:

Strange enough, I've not been able to find/understand which of the services on HetrixTools can be used to monitor a vps server like nixstats.
I see
1) Blacklist Monitors
2) Uptime Monitors

where is server monitor?

Got to set a monitor first, then you can setup server monitoring

I end up using nodequery.com Hetrix tools looks intimidating

Nixstats and Hetrix are both mainly about server monitoring. Does someone know about a good inexpensive domain monitoring solution? Best case would be something specialized checking if ssl is valid et cetera. I like the Nixstats solution a lot (check for SSL and also report 403 codes), but it's not worth the 7$ for only 10-15 domains instead of 5 for me.

You couldn’t be half-assed to do a Google search?

Edit: whatever. Just use UptimeRobot.

The server monitoring is just an added bonus to the Uptime Monitoring service, but that service is mainly about monitoring the uptime of your websites/servers/etc. And I do believe it includes what you are looking for, as we have domain expiration monitoring, ssl expiration monitoring, ssl validity monitoring, nameserver change detection, etc. And as for inexpensive, the Professional package (20 monitors) is 50% off for life ($4.97/mo) with the LET March Madness promo.

Cheers.

Site24x7 is a good tool for this and other domain monitoring needs.
