Setup email alerts for certbot failures in seconds

OnlineOrNot monitors your Let's Encrypt certificate renewals by tracking heartbeats from your certbot processes. The moment a renewal fails and doesn't send its expected heartbeat, you'll receive an instant email notification so you can fix the issue before certificates expire.

Don't let expired SSL certificates break your users' trust. Get notified immediately when certbot encounters issues with domain validation, rate limits, or server problems.

Add a simple HTTP ping to your certbot renewal script or cron job. When renewals succeed, the heartbeat confirms everything is working.

Step 3

If certbot fails and the heartbeat doesn't arrive, you'll receive an email notification within 1-2 seconds. Fix renewal issues before certificates expire.

- 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.

- 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! 👏👏
