You're on call. Your monitoring shouldn't be. How many alerts did you miss because your monitoring tool was down too?
Running monitoring infrastructure on top of production infrastructure is a trap. When the thing you're monitoring goes down, your monitoring goes with it. You end up babysitting two stacks instead of one.
I built Upwatch to fix that. 10 monitors, email alerts, and a status page — free. External checks from outside your network. Set up in 30 seconds.
Self-hosted monitoring fails when you need it most — during the outage it's supposed to catch.
If your Nagios, Zabbix, or Prometheus lives in the same blast radius as your production workloads, you have a monitoring gap. External checks close it.
Three steps. Under a minute.

"I built Upwatch because I got tired of monitoring tools that needed their own monitoring. No investors. No growth team. No plan to 10x the price next year. The free tier exists because I think every sysadmin deserves external checks they don't have to maintain."
