I&#x27;m one-person team and I&#x27;m just looking for a service that will ping my servers at some interval and send me an email or text if the response doesn&#x27;t match some pre-configured match parameters.<p>Pager-duty would work but 10 bucks a month seems too expensive.  I know there must be better alternatives out there.<p>update: Looks like I misunderstood pager duty.  It doesn&#x27;t handle the uptime checking; it just manages notifications and escalation.
Ask HN: What are some good lightweight server monitoring services?
