*** No website now ;)

Since September 2009 too, free services greater or equal to 60 minutes will not be checked anymore as
BROWSERMOB
ALERTX (free offer only test every 3 hours...)
HOOTMONITOR

Since September 2009 again, this/these service(s) can not be added on my list due to dangerous ToS for customers and/or country not member of econsumer.gov:
100PULSE (reason: India enterprise)

Since December 2012, this/these service(s) can not be added on my list because they only monitor main site:
SITEBEAK


Since December 2015, this/these service(s) can not be added on my list because... i do not test them anymore ;) :
STATUSCAKE
DOWNNOTIFIER
WEBUPTIME.IO
STATUSCAKE
UPDOWN.IO



No thanks:
NIMBU.NET (unstable since X months / beta state does not permit to do nothing during this time...)




Not free anymore:
BINARYCANARY



SPECIFIC USES / BONUS URLs:
R-U-ON (use sensor / agent software to monitor CPU/memory/HD use...)
PA SERVER MONITOR (use sensor / agent software to monitor a lot of infos ???)
SERVERDENSITY (use sensor / agent software to monitor a lot of infos

MAZECORE (unstable / i hate to be warned after than my account is temporarly closed)
WASITUP
(abnormal alerts / closed now)
WHENDOUP (does not works ? hummm... never mind now it is closed ;)
247WEBMONITORING (abnormal regular alerts)
WATCHMOUSEend of free offer.




Quick test is done (during about 3 hours) by:
- destroying an hidden test webpage to create a 404 error,
- creating a virtual network error by changing IP and TTL of an usued "www." URL for monitoring services which only test main sites

Next step to this document is to describe how monitor service considers remote server as down (a 404 error is sufficent ? any HTTP code ? only a ping ?...)






(*) Number of tested servers used to avoid false-positive mesures / missing values will be added later
(**) If only a number is present, it is the maximum number of messages you can receive for a same outage
(***) Displayed in the format "Commercial_value (Real_value_observed_in_my_logs)" ;)
(****) Some services can refuse redirected URL(s) to avoid mispelling(s) / Will be tested later
(a) In fact, service test remote URL every 15 minutes from 2 locations but waits 2 simultaneous errors from these 2 locations to alert user by mail so the email alert is sent between 15 and 30 minutes after first detection.
