Receive push notifications on your phone when your server goes online/offline!
I recommend running ServerPinger on a device that runs 24/7 and without problems, so you don't miss out any push notifications.
- The first image shows the push notification that comes when you start ServerPinger and everything works
- The second image shows a push notification when your server comes back online
- The third image shows a push notification when your server goes down/offline
Click here (requires Java 8 or later)
- Download and run ServerPinger once so the configuration file gets generated
- Create a Pushover Account and download the app in your app store and login (7 days trial and then 4.99$ one time payment)
- Create an application on Pushover.net
- Paste user key and application token from Pushover.net to your config
- Write the ip addresses or domain names you want to monitor into the config (See configuration section)
I recommend using ServerPinger with screen so it runs in background.
For example: screen -S serverpinger java -jar serverpinger-1.0.1.jar
Press Ctrl + A + D to get out of the console screen
When you update ServerPinger please backup your configuration file and remove it from the folder where the .jar is located, so ServerPinger can generate a new one. Then merge your old configuration with the new generated one.
