PINGJOE Passive Monitoring

Monitor your scheduled backups and other tasks.

PINGJOE Passive Monitoring launched on March 20, 2021 with 3 votes. The site was still online in September 2026, 5 years on.

What it does

PINGJOE passively monitors your services and regular tasks. It does not probe your servers but rather waits for your program to PING JOE. You will receive an e-mail whenever your app misses the ping. The ping is merely a GET request to a special URL. Easy.

Q: I have a reliable backup tool with error reporting already. Why do I need PINGJOE ? A: PINGJOE is the best solution to cover scenarios like your backup tool failing or not running at all, whole range of network issues, backup server down, cron daemon issues, and more. PINGJOE awaits an OK result from your program. If it does not arrive, and there can be thousands of reasons for that, we will notify you. This solution is more robust and reliable than trying to identify separate problems. And last but not least the service is located on an independent network shielded from any local issues you might suffer from. Congratulations! You just created your first PINGJOE spotter! We will notify…from pingjoe.com

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
