Re: Application monitoring and DR/BC backups - SMS and email alerting etc
Zerigo is a heroku partner with alerts. Pingdom was mentioned and seems pretty good in my testing. Others I am trying are watchmouse, siteuptime, alertfox, and mon.itor.us On Jun 11, 4:18 am, Daryl daryl.mann...@gmail.com wrote: Hey there! In the past, I've generally had dedicated servers (or Amazon EC2) that have allowed me to use monit and be pointed at via Nagios for monitoring and alerting when things went all pear shaped.

Looked at Scout but sms monitoring is not available for less than $159 USD a month which is a bit steep for our NGO on top of the fees we'll be paying heroku. Would be interested to hear what other people have come up with. Primarily we'd be looking at alerts when the app is down, there are performance issues or services are otherwise disrupted (ie. site slow, unreachable, or for example, delayed job throws a fit). Additionally, while we're looking at just backing up hourly to an S3 snapshot or the like for the datbase we'd be interested in hearing about what experiences people have had with that when things have gone horribly horribly wrong and in general what the time to recover and such is. thanks !

Had seen them mentioned before but hadn't heard whether people were really happy with them or not. Have you used them and like them? They look close to what we need. Daryl.
