What is everybody using for network monitoring? I was using Fing
premium and it has renewed, however I am very unhappy with the
service. I moved over to a new phone and no longer get notifications
from the app and this Support really don’t seem to care about it.
Also, as I refuse to pay for a Fing box, I am relying on the desktop
application, and would rather have something I can run on my server
that Will keep track of devices and provide me notifications to my
phone when devices go offline etc

Uptime-Kuma is easy enough to set up.

Has integration for all kinds of notification services.

Some day I might setup the Intrusion Prevention System of my OpnSense
Firewall ...

But I don't have the feeling I need it. I'm trusting the devices in my
HomeNet, and my IoT devices are in a separate VLAN without Internet
Access.

how are you sending those pings?

Just a simple curl at the end of my scripts, e.g. or via crontab, e.g.

curl -m 10 --retry 5 [https://hc-ping.com/your-uuid-here](https://hc-
ping.com/your-uuid-here)
