Let me introduce my new little project - πŸ‹ LemMon - Lemmy Monitor - Servers Status

The main servers will check if the lemmy servers (you can request in this post which servers to add) are online every 1 minute.

Every lemmy server have dedicated status page like lemmy.world: https://lemmon.zerobytes.monster/index?server===wM

Enjoy!

Please go ahead and add lemmy.ca!

Also I don't think this is correct, shitjustworks just had an extended outage while they were doing config updates.

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

I'd also suggest going through and adding these, or even integrating it into this

https://lemmyverse.net/

lemmy.ca is pretty big now which is nice to see

[–] eskuero@lemmy.fromshado.ws 9 points 1 year ago

What exactly does this check? a ping? trying to retrieve something from the API?

[–] SoNick@readit.buzz 6 points 1 year ago

@null On one hand I strongly prefer kbin to lemmy, but on the other hand that is a clever name for the tool! I like it!

Because i dont like uptime-kuma and i know how to write a code 😜

[–] Zelaf@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Best answer. Really like your UI design! (I like uptime-kuma tho)

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This looks like a fork of it.

[–] null@zerobytes.monster 1 points 1 year ago

You are totally wrong here

Please add waste-of.space. Thnx!

[–] chrisbit@cocte.au 4 points 1 year ago

Please add cocte.au and leminal.space

[–] OpenStars@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Every one minute seems... excessive. I know this is social media but still, what would be bad about reducing that to like once per hour, to reduce the load across the entire Fediverse?

[–] Wintermute@lemmy.villa-straylight.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think you're underestimating the number of requests that a server can handle. Even my tiny instance currently sees dozens of requests every second and is very lightly loaded. A single request per minute is an immeasurably small load.

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

You made me curious. Since midnight lemmy.ca has averaged 110 requests per second, with multiple periods of doing ~3000 request/sec.

1 request every minute is nothing :)

[–] null@zerobytes.monster 3 points 1 year ago

Every one minute is really nothing

[–] rideranton@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A single health check call a minute by a single app is nothing compared to real world usage

[–] OpenStars@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

True, but if we agree that every second is too frequent, but that every day is too sparse (maybe?), then the question becomes one of optimizing the choice of what frequency would be best for whatever outcome.

Like if it was every 5 minutes, that would cut down on the amount of traffic 5-fold, and still give 12 checks every hour. If we do not expect checks to fail, that may still be 6-12-fold more often than necessary. Or a check every 10 minutes is still "many checks per hour", and yet does not blow up the traffic stats 10-fold more than necessary to get a "desirable" outcome.

There are also additional costs to consider when doing a check every minute: that is 1440 checks every 24 hours! Data must be stored, CPU time spent, waste heat is generated (it is not exactly exasperating climate change but it is not not doing that either!), etc. Whereas if a check every 10 minutes is used, then the same number of checks would span a 10-day timeframe. Depending on whatever else the machine is doing (gaming? other server checks?), it reduces the load 10-fold and something that much may even change things on a qualitative rather than merely quantitative basis.

Well, it was a thought for consideration at any rate.

[–] Paralda@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can you add programming.dev?

[–] null@zerobytes.monster -1 points 1 year ago

Added πŸ˜€

[–] Voyajer@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Any plans for monitoring kbin instances?

Great tool! Any chance of feddit.uk?

[–] jmbreuer@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How about adding lemmy.ml?

It doesn't have the same problem as lemmy.fhmy.ml, but especially because of current unknowns around .ml domains, it would benefit greatly from independent monitoring.

[–] null@zerobytes.monster 1 points 1 year ago

Added πŸ˜€

[–] sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf 1 points 1 year ago

Add Lemmy.tf please

[–] tj111@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Please add lemmy.fmhy.ml to that list - it's been down for over a day due to the .ml issues but have been looking for something like this to see if its back.

[–] drudoo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I don’t think .ml is coming back. They won’t be able to renew the domain because of issue with the registrar in Mali

[–] null@zerobytes.monster 3 points 1 year ago

Wont add sorry, the domain is lost.

[–] FiskFisk33@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

it wont be coming back on the same domain

[–] gabriele97@lemmy.g97.top 1 points 1 year ago

I like it! Can you add my instance? lemmy.g97.top

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 1 points 1 year ago

Can you add feddit.nu?

[–] lnxtx@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago
[–] kavin@feddit.rocks 1 points 1 year ago

Would you like to add feddit.rocks? It's a lemmy instance run by me :)

[–] Ludrol@szmer.info 1 points 1 year ago
[–] SuperSpaceFan@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can you add Lemm.ee and Geddit.social?

[–] null@zerobytes.monster -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wut? Lemm.ee was there since i announced this post πŸ˜€

Geddit.social maybe later will add.

[–] SuperSpaceFan@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Oh okay, I see Lemm.ee now after doing a page refresh. Thanks

[–] Zoldyck@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] HamSwagwich@showeq.com 0 points 1 year ago

Showeq.com please!

[–] miles@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Currently showing sh.itjust.works as 100% online. Are you sure about that?

[–] gabriele97@lemmy.g97.top 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think it shows 100% because it started now to monitor that server, so it has no clue on what happened in the past

Yes, how the monitor can check previous downtimes? It cant go to past πŸ˜€
