Network Status Suggestions

[INUMIO-Rob]

Hi everyone, I am seeking to implement a network status page on my site to provide at-a-glance health & status for my network, and various hosts within such. I'm about to take a swing at deploying stand-alone cachet (I guess a blesta extension is coming someday, but no idea when).

Before I spend the labor to do this, I am looking for feedback on cachet, and / or alternatives I might want to check out before I make my choice.

What are you using for realtime network status? Are you happy with it?

Thanks for your time.

I don't have any direct experience with Cachet, but have been contemplating doing an install and playing around with it. What I've seen I like. https://cachethq.io/

Aye. I suppose that I'm going to install it standalone. Even if someone were working on a blesta extension for this, we have an immediate need; one which a pre-production beta extension wouldn't satisfy within this scope.

Edit: I'll journal my cachet experiences in this thread.

I'm using uptimerobot to know my uptime.  It can integrate with wordpress.

Wow! UptimeRobot is pretty sexy.

I've had a StatusCake account for a while but toying with the idea of either setting up cachet (since I found it in this thread), writing something that hooks into our internal Nagios stuff (which won't tell me anything about networking issues between the DC and the real world) but this also looks like a pretty sweet alternative

StatusCake does the job & has a decent API. I think they have a few network farts here and there though because I'm pretty sure not all of the downtime they notify me about is actually the real deal (but yes I did break our fancy homepage this week for about half an hour - no client services were affected).

Thanks, Lads. Some interesting options coming up so far. My cachet install process was unfulfilling, and it's doubtful I'll try again anytime soon. I simply haven't the time to spend a full day of tinkering with Node.js, docker, etc.

Some of the 3rd party solutions are looking affordable and easy.  The hunt continues.

This looks really good. Thanks for sharing.

Uptime robot has a great site with a very good interface. My only complaint is with cloudflare. It appears that a conflict exists within the cloudflare system that throws an error 1000 when trying to resolve a cname'd domain from and to cloudflare. Both myself, and uptimerobot use cloudflare, and it appears that cloudflare's nginx is trying to proxy to itself, thus it complains about "prohibited IP". Bummer. Anyone successfully using uptimerobot with DNS /  cname record managed by cloudflare?

Cachet has a Blesta integration. In fact, the Cachet developer is on this forum. Maybe ask him for help?

Excuse me, but had you read the recent posts on that thread you'd have seen 1. My post, and 2. No response from the author of Cachet as to the status of a blesta integration.

... Whoops. >_>

Well, he's got an integration going on. You'd have better luck at Github, I suspect. That's over on https://github.com/CachetHQ/Cachet

No worries, mate. I am using uptimerobot now, and it is working a treat for my use-case. Thanks.
