Pingdom and WHMCS are doing a fine job for us.

You should get rid of Pingdom and just use your ticket system :uhh:

 

[VMakerHOST]

some time Pingdom and statuscake send wrong alerts but in someway they are good

 

[hostroyal.us]

New Relic Is pretty Good and it's free

Hello,

We use a combination when we are in the office we use something called Intermapper which monitors in realtime, we then use Cacti for graphing historic data for collection and analysis.

for our network infrastructure we use Solarwinds

 

[hostlatte]

We do use pingdom and WHMCS.

I have worked with WHMCS for some time and it was very useful

I know there is a demand for "free" services, but I use commercial services because my customers respond to "independent third-party monitoring."

For uptime I use NodePing and Uptime Doctor as a backup. (Uptime Doctor gave me a free account for evaluation.)

Had a bad false positive problem with NodePing for a few weeks. Seems to have cleared up, though, so I'll continue using them as long as they're reliable.

For health trends I use Monitis. And for a really good health snapshot, I like CloudStats.me.

CloudStats has some really interesting features. I can get an overview of every server showing CPU, load and MEM on a single page with a 3 minute refresh. Beats opening a bunch of SSH sessions running 'top.'

Obviously WHMCS; an inbuilt feature of server monitoring tool for Hosting Provider and also High % Market share of Hosting Industry is using this Billing & Client Management Portal.
For more features, also can use cloudstats dot me.

You are WRONG, WHMCS has an inbuild IP Monitor and IP Manager. It does not inbuilt server monitoring

Pingdom is free and offers accurate insights to your website uptime

 

[stabletron]

zabbix or host-tracker

Nagios if you have large no. of servers, pingdom is good too.
