Best Sentry alternative for uptime monitoring

Why Sentry users need OnlineOrNot
Sentry doesn't monitor uptime. While Sentry is excellent for error tracking and performance monitoring, it can't tell you when your website or API is completely down or unreachable.
Catch outages before error floods. OnlineOrNot alerts you the moment your site goes down, before users start hitting errors that flood your Sentry dashboard.
Monitor what Sentry can't. OnlineOrNot monitors cron jobs, scheduled tasks, SSL certificates, and external APIs - giving you complete visibility beyond your application code.

Perfect companions for complete monitoring
Sentry + OnlineOrNot = Complete coverage. Use Sentry to track application errors and performance issues, while OnlineOrNot ensures your services are online and accessible.
Better incident management. Know immediately if an issue is "the site is down" (OnlineOrNot) or "there's a bug in the code" (Sentry). This context makes debugging much faster.
Proactive vs reactive. OnlineOrNot catches outages before users are affected, while Sentry helps you fix issues after users encounter them. Together, they cover the full monitoring spectrum.

Set up OnlineOrNot monitoring
Add your websites, APIs, and cron jobs to OnlineOrNot. Configure checks every 30 seconds with multi-location verification to eliminate false positives.

OnlineOrNot has been absolutely fantastic for my bot, Noti. It completely transformed the way I monitor online services.
The real-time notifications keep me in the loop about any downtime, allowing me to take immediate action. If you're looking for a reliable way to monitor your project's status, I highly suggest using OnlineOrNot.

I tried @RozenMD's OnlineOrNot uptime monitoring, and for a few days got notifications of 2min down time.
I thought that OnlineOrNot was wrong as Uptime Robot wasn't reporting anything.
Turns out it was the other way around.
Khaled BentoumiFounder of Data to Page
We've been using OnlineOrNot and it has been a life saver.
It, by far, has been one of the most responsive uptime services we've tried and it only gets better and better as time goes on.

I just set up some site aliveness checks for @Archium_io with @RozenMD's OnlineOrNot.
Took me less than five minutes and it was completely self-explanatory, not to mention gorgeous. Seriously good experience.
Great job, Max! 👏👏
