[VoiceOps] Recommended Website/IP monitoring tool

[Graham Freeman]

I tried Uptimerobot, but within a week I noticed a 12-hour period in which
no monitoring took place.  (Based on server logs on the monitored servers.)
 Monitoring resumed after 12 hours without a word from them.

Outages happen - even to monitoring service providers - but what really
bothered me was the complete lack of acknowledgement of the issue on their
part.   I wish them the best, and I still use their cheapest paid level of
service as a secondary layer of monitoring for important sites, but I've
switched to StatusCake (and internal tools) for primary.
