About Uptime agent

The Uptime agent sends one tiny "I am up" signal to RootManage once a minute. Nothing keeps running in between, and it only reads the server's uptime. When the signals stop, RootManage records the server as down, and records again when it is back.

What it does

  • One signal per minute from a timer, with almost no CPU use
  • Up and down status and a 30-day uptime figure in your dashboard
  • Linux only, with a cron fallback on systems without systemd

What it does not do

  • It does not check your websites from outside: it only tells us the server itself is alive
  • Down and up e-mails are not switched on yet (see the status on this page)

Schedule: Every minute

How it updates

The Uptime agent has no self-update. To update it, run the install line from your dashboard again.

Run the install line from your dashboard again

Status today. Up and down status and the 30-day history are live. Down and up e-mails are not switched on yet.

Questions about Uptime agent updates

How do I update the Uptime agent?

Run the install line shown on your Uptime page again. It replaces the small script. rootmanage-uptime --version shows the installed version.

Will I get an e-mail when my server is down?

Not yet. The dashboard shows the status today. The down and up e-mails are built and are being switched on separately, and this page will say so when they are on.
