How is StackEye different from UptimeRobot?
Both products can monitor public websites and APIs from hosted locations. StackEye also ships Station for Linux host health and offers active HTTP, TCP, Ping, and DNS checks through a support-assisted Team and Enterprise beta relay. UptimeRobot’s heartbeat monitor can accept outbound liveness check-ins from internal jobs; that is different from a relay initiating a test against another target.
Do private relays require an inbound firewall rule?
No. The relay connects outward to the StackEye control plane, receives assigned work, and submits results. The private targets do not need a public route.
Does StackEye monitor Kubernetes workloads?
Not as a generally available production claim today. Station can be deployed as a Kubernetes DaemonSet for Linux node-host monitoring. A separate cluster controller and topology UI exist in development, but the current production self-serve cluster flow is not complete.
Which private check types are supported?
Support-assisted Team and Enterprise beta relays support HTTP/HTTPS, TCP port, ICMP Ping, and DNS resolution. SMTP is available for public monitoring but is intentionally excluded from private-region execution. Fresh self-serve relay onboarding is not currently presented as working.
Can I sign up immediately?
StackEye is in private beta. Join the waitlist for access; if you already have an invite code, use the account-creation link in the hero.
