Stop Finding Out About Downtime from Users — Monitor Your Node.js App

Short summary

Stop learning about outages from your users—Vigilmon is a free monitoring service that pings your Node.js endpoints every minute and alerts you within seconds via email, Slack, Discord, or webhooks. Configure an Express /health endpoint, add monitors to Vigilmon's dashboard, wire up Slack/Discord integrations, and enable a public status page so customers self-check during incidents instead of flooding your inbox. Free tier covers 10 monitors, enough for most production apps.

  • Vigilmon pings endpoints every minute and detects downtime within 1-2 minutes
  • Wire up Slack/Discord webhooks for real-time alerts instead of email
  • Public status page lets customers self-serve during incidents, reducing support load

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
