Build an uptime monitoring setup with Globalping and open source tools

Usually, your uptime monitor checks your services from wherever they’re running. So, if your tool runs on a server in Frankfurt, that’s usually also where the uptime checks originate. This works mostly fine, but what if you get user reports that your service is slow in Asia or South America, where your monitor doesn’t run?

However, pairing your setup with Globalping gives you access to a distributed probe network that lets you test from anywhere. In this blog post, we’ll show you how to combine Globalping with four open source monitoring tools – Checkmate, Upptime, Uptime Flare, and Uptime Kuma – to build a free global uptime monitoring setup.
