Welcome aboard,

Thanks
Looking very professional so far.
First letters of second words of terms could be capitalized, such as, Server monitors > Server Monitors.

One US West location would be good.

Got you! Seattle added.

I got my fist downtime and uptime alert. Notifications reached my inbox in time.

You added 4 more, nice!
If one asks for 1, you give 4? That's a bad habit. What if I ask to add 10 more monitors to my account, you'll add 40 by that logic. Not a bad deal for me, though!

The "Anti phishing code" thing is new, haven't seen that before anywhere.

"An email confirmation was sent to the new email address. Make sure to check and confirm it via email."
Shouldn't it be done (the confirmation) through the current email address?

Email confirmation landed to Junk folder, using Microsoft Email

Email verification for login and webpage login shows different URL

Good point, added to list.

Thank you for letting us know, good old MS - will look into it

No iowait, no steal? What kind of CPU usage monitor is that

EDIT: also

If you read, we're in BETA .. give us a chance to add more features and customisations.
Currently support http/https/ping/ipv4/host/port (ipv6 ready soon) cpu/ram/disk

Yeah, not really 3 minutes. Maybe you are looking at the new e-mail that I generated via resend (and that one came before the original one), but this is mostly mailbaby related (or yours lack of SPF?).

Still a WIP, thanks for letting us know - will circle back with MB/MC and see how we can improve that. I'll get it added to the list of potential issues/bugs.

Jab · January 23

This menu button is not visible, darkmode need some fixes ;p

This is for custom HTTP check expecting an predefined output/keywoard - I guess it failed that test, but it's not mentioned anywhere. Hovering over "X" mark would be the most obvious place, but nothing

--

I am kinda too lazy to login on my phone, but emulating mobile view on Chrome makes me wonder: how do you add more than one server to status page? Like it expects me to hold ctrl while clicking and it's not possible on mobile, long press seems to be not doing anything

3 minutes checks looks more like 4 minutes checks?

I know flags are cool, but on wide view please put the location name (city?) in the label/text. This especially needed for USA that (atm of course, it's gonna be MOOOOAR!) you have two nodes

--

Feature request: Plain text e-mails about outages, selectable in settings (account wide).

Nice spot, dark mode will be finished couple of days
Custom HTTP check, we'll look into

Phone, lots of work to do on that side, App in development and testing in IOS currently with an Android version ready in couple of months. Might have a PWA version ready faster rollout for users to test.

Thanks for the feedback, have a great day.

webmash · January 23

We'll post updates in this thread, and via x.com/nodecheck
Thanks to everyone that's joined our beta testing, and provided great feedback, there's more beta accounts to grab if you want to join us. https://nodecheck.net

OP, copy/paste what hetrix tools have with their monitoring. And agent. From there you may start to improve. Don't reinvent the wheel or you will loose motivation to go further.

Like @jab said, you forgot to add MailBaby to your SPF record:
now: "v=spf1 include:icloud.com ~all"
should be: "v=spf1 include:icloud.com include:relay.mailbaby.net -all"

Received-SPF: softfail (nodecheck.net: Sender is not authorized by default to use '[email protected]' in 'mfrom' identity, however domain is not currently prepared for false failures (mechanism '~all' matched)) receiver=REDACTED; identity=mailfrom; envelope-from="[email protected]"; helo=relay0-n.mailbaby.net; client-ip=174.138.190.37

Looks like an issue, we picked this up earlier and will put another monitoring station in Japan on tonight’s build.

webmash · January 23

Pushing tonights feedback, bug fixes and location fixes - Default monitoring location running to prevent any uptime issues. Once complete we'll update this post.

treesmokah · January 24

Looks great. Will give it a shot myself whenever I find some more time.
