While I would love to use this app more, it is not in a stable form IMO which causes frustration and lost time and eventually abandonment.
It is so fragile that seemingly simple changes completely break the app, and undoing those changes don't always bring it back into a working state.
I think we need some more eyes on why this is happening or package an alternative that is functional and robust.
If nothing else, make a more usefully configured default install that requires minimal changes and just works.
Alternatively if someone has already spent the time modifying and getting a stable configuration, perhaps share a backup snapshot of the app we can import and use. Volunteers?

@robi it works mostly okay for me but the pings aren't always accurate. What errors or problems are you having?

Stopped trying after that.

@robi Here I reported about save data problems. I tried to look inside database and take a look inside, but I got this other problem. Maybe problems are related?
I was curious to buy "Hosted" instance of Statping to problems

I was actually pretty sure this app is unstable but it somehow got marked as stable. I have made it as unstable again.
I am still waiting for a response to https://github.com/statping/statping/issues/761 on how to actually configure the app correctly.

@girish Wow, ticket seems to look very old. Me too I sent an email to developers - for other issue - without any response.

Do we need to find a better alternative?
-
@robi Maybe yes, but one of most interesting feature of Statping is to connect to Twilio and have an SMS notification. I think this is a good way to get notified not only on email but also on mobile.
Specially in case of total server failover, where also Cloudron cannot send email notifications.

At that point SMS is a bit redundant if you get the webhook notifications for free.

@robi Thank's Robi, What if You don't have internet connection to check slack? ?

@p44 Take a look at https://github.com/cstate/cstate
Netlify has an awesome infrastructure and it's free to use for something like this.
-
@robi That's why I think should have more channels to get notified...

@p44 Let me know when you figure out how well that works for you.
I have previous experience where there is too much of such a thing and it wasn't intelligently tiered, as in when one form of notification fails, it escalates to the next, until one works.

Sure Robi I will!

We've done some exploration and it seems the issues with configuration precedence and so has been fixed in the development version, so I assume it'll be all fixed in the next stable release.
@mario Thank's Mario! Hope future release will be more stable so we can use all features.
