A new station in Columbus, Ohio has been deployed

22

We just launched a monitoring station in Amsterdam - 13.93.84.249

23

Great, most of our traffic is western european - If I can kindly make a request, please add UK stations.

24

We are setting up stations in AWS, Azure and Rackspace. I know there is a London Azure location, so that will come on line shortly. I don’t know if there are others in the UK.

25

It looks like Azure has two locations in the UK and also a location in Ireland. We already have a station in Dublin, but the Azure station looks like it is in western Ireland - will need to find out exactly where.

26

BTW, if you are only interested in being monitored from western eu, you can turn off all other stations from the ‘Stations’ menu item.

27

Excellent, my concern is that we have no visitors from the Asia, and we have gotten connection error alerts from there. I don’t care if the site is unreachable from Singapore, for example.

Actually, I’d like to block by region, not just by station. Is that possible?

28

Not right now, but we can look into it.

29

any progress on the regional station blocking?

30

Not yet - we are focused on a functionality update. We are adding security monitors - like if your site has been infected, block listed, etc…

The regional support issue is on the list, but will not be in the next release.

31

Ok, I can do it manually for now. I see 17 monitoring stations so it shouldn’t be a huge problem.

How can you tell if a site has been infected?

32

Couple ways:

  1. Being listed on Google’s Safe Browsing service indicates your site has been detected to be a phishing site or hosting malware
  2. Blocklist services like Spamhaus collect data on IPs that are communicating with known ‘command and control’ endpoints, which would happen if your site was infected with malware.

LetsMonitor.org monitors those services and alerts you if you get listed.

33

I noticed your new version of Let’s Monitor has a Website (HTTPS) and a “Certificate Validity” check. So I thought the certificate check would also work with non-HTTPS protocols, which use TLS, but as it seems this is not the case.

I got the error: Socket error: 101057795:error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol:openssl\ssl\s23_clnt.c:794:

In my case I am trying to monitor XMPP (client to server connection on port 5222 e.g.).

A station has been added in London

35

I don’t think there is enough demand for this to support it.

36

Got an alter this morning that simply reads:
ALERT for shows.agility-time.net: Unknown

Doesn’t seem to be for any good reason as far as I can tell.
Great service by the way. Thanks. :slight_smile:

37

Can you tell me what your user name is?

Yes, we will make that alert needs more descriptive. Thanks for the feedback.

Is there a way to pay your monthly fee via PayPal? Thanks!
