My young child has Type 1 diabetes. I need to know when the server that receives glucose readings from his CGM on his body goes down. It’s a huge help to prevent emergencies and death when I know when his blood glucose is low AND when there’s no new blood glucose readings. I’m going to try this service. Thank you for sharing!

#22How do I add multiple end points? I purchased and added one. I don’t see how to add a second endpoint. Thanks!

Hi there thanks for purchasing! Currently we have it set to just one endpoint per account (MVP Launch) but let me add support for more today. How many endpoints are you looking to monitor?

Thank you for your comment! Wow - That sounds like a very important use case. Please feel free to reach out to me if you encounter anything while getting set up admin@varonova.ca; I'll double check once you sign up that everything is configured correctly (any unauthenticated endpoint that retuns a 200 response will work, best is /health).

#25How it compares with https://www.site24x7.com ?
Different use cases, ours is for people who prefer simplicity and just want a text to know if their server goes down. We charge $5 for the year, this service charges $108 (But is aimed at larger enterprises and provides more analytics like monitoring logs/custom status pages). I'm sure their service is great for their enterprise customers, but for smaller teams I feel a text when your server goes down solves the key pain point.

Adding one more for a total of two.

Sounds good - I appreciate the feedback, will let you know when it's up later today.

That’s very kind of you. Really appreciate it. Cheers!

It's a one-time 4.99 fee (covers a year of monitoring or 50 downtime events).
interesting, how did you come up with the pricing? Similar other services?
Not quite - just thought of what I would actually pay for it. Looked at others and saw most done for you solutions were monthly subscriptions ~$9. Couldn't see myself being excited by that pricing model + another dashboard to manage, so I made it $5 for the year and built the most simple solution that's easy to set up and reliable (while not losing money).
Almost all monitoring services I found target enterprise, and the ones that don't are self-hosted. This solution is for the small teams/indie devs that just need to know when their servers down. Might raise the price though, thinking the low price might work against me for quality perception. What do you think?
