BitFolk provides a free monitoring service which can be enabled on request, and is required for some of BitFolk's other services.
Setup
Monitoring checks are free but are not added by default. This might change in the future but for now you have to ask Support for them to be added.
Usually just an IPv4 ping check will be added, which will suffice for checking that your VPS is up. Almost any service that you run can be monitored though, and common requests include:
- SSH
- HTTP / HTTPS (including TLS certificate validity)
- SMTP
- MySQL
These sorts of checks can work without an agent (i.e. without anything installed on your VPS). More complicated checks such as disk space, load or anything else that you can check with a script will need some sort of agent such as an NRPE daemon or SNMP daemon.
