The service emphasizes predictable pricing with unlimited international SMS notifications and users included in all plans.
Designed for businesses of all sizes, from individual developers to large service providers, NodePing helps maintain accountability and uptime for critical online assets. Its features include automated diagnostics, a full REST API for integration, and on-premise monitoring solutions. For service providers, NodePing offers subaccounts and brandable notifications, enabling them to extend monitoring services to their own customers under their brand.
The platform's core value lies in its robust monitoring capabilities, proactive alerting, and diagnostic tools that help quickly identify and resolve service failures. With multiple global recheck locations, it minimizes false positives, providing accurate and timely incident detection.
How does NodePing handle monitoring services located within a private network or behind a firewall?
NodePing provides two solutions for on-premise monitoring: Agents and PUSH checks. Agents allow standard checks to run within private networks, enabling monitoring of private addresses with internal DNS. PUSH checks are used to monitor server resources by sending heartbeats and metrics from behind your firewalls to NodePing.
Can I customize the notifications sent to my clients if I use NodePing to monitor their services?
Yes, with Professional and Premiere accounts, NodePing offers brandable notifications. This feature allows you to customize outage notifications to include your company's information, including the 'from' address, ensuring a consistent brand experience for your customers. This works in conjunction with subaccounts and the API.
What happens if a monitor detects an outage from one location but not others?
When a site monitor check indicates an outage, NodePing automatically rechecks the service from multiple other global locations before sending any notifications. This multi-location recheck process helps to minimize false positives and ensures that alerts are only sent for genuine service failures.
How does NodePing's pricing for monitors work if my usage fluctuates above my plan's included amount?
NodePing tracks the peak number of active monitors on your account each month. If this peak exceeds the number of monitors included in your plan, the overage amount is calculated based on the additional monitors used and the per-monitor overage rate for your plan. These overage costs are then charged on your next month's invoice.
Does NodePing support monitoring for specific database types or streaming media?
Yes, NodePing supports monitoring for various database types including MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB. It also offers specialized checks for Audio Streams, which include volume detection, and WebSocket monitoring, including support for Socket.io.
