I found that both of my Rails sites went down tonight without my knowledge, and I was getting 502 errors when I tried to visit these sites. Both are hosted by the same company. Fortunately, I was able to get the sites back up and running simply by restarting them.
Are there any services out there that I can use to automatically monitor my sites and send me an email and/or text message if my sites go down? Additionally, would it be a good idea to set the cron jobs on my sites to automatically restart the sites on a regular basis? If so, how often should my sites be restarted? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
