devros Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I'm looking to setup an external monitoring service to check and alert me if my local plex server is down, Ombi and a few other things I run. Would be under 5 checks and I know that many services out there have a free tier for that few service checks. Was just wondering what others here have used. Someone had mentioned Pulseway to me a while back, but there are so many others out there, I figured I would ask here first. thanks, -dev Link to comment
interwebtech Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 PlexPy (Plex server notifications + more) & Pushbullet (send notifications via text). Pushbullet is also a supported agent for unRaid's notifications. Link to comment

After having looked and tried many of them. I settled for the following service: http://uptimerobot.com/ Link to comment

Pushbullet is also a supported agent for unRaid's notifications. The problem is that PlexPy is running on the same unraid server, so if something goes wrong with the server then I wouldn't get notified, hence my desire to use an external monitoring service.
