I’ve been working on a simple opt-in solution, primarily for Lemmy end users like me (but also helpful for admins), to easily check the status/health of their favourite instance.
You can find the details of the implementation in lemmy-meter github repo.
❓ @admins: would you be interested in adding your instance to lemmy-meter?
You don’t need to do anything except confirming - I’ll handle the rest. It should only take a few minutes for your instance to show up in lemmy-meter.
Out of the box it will send only 4 HTTP GET requests per minute to your instance. However that is totally configurable if it sounds too much or too little.
To be precise, it’s not 4 requests to the same endpoint.
lemmy-meter probes 4 endpoints each once per minute:
- The landing page
api.getPosts(limit=1)api.getComments(limit=1)api.getCommunities(limit=1)
That’s b/c I’ve frequently experienced cases when the landing page works but some mobile APIs don’t and vice versa.
Hope that makes sense.
As I said, if after some time you feel like this is too much load, reach out to me and I can easily configure lemmy-meter to probe less frequently.
