FAQ

Does the free plan really include 1-minute checks?

Yes, unlike many competitors, HetrixTools provides 1-minute check intervals for all monitors on the free tier.

What is Blacklist Monitoring?

HetrixTools checks your IP addresses and domain names against over a hundred DNS-based blackhole lists (DNSBL) to ensure your emails don't get routed to spam folders.

You install a very lightweight, open-source script on your Linux or Windows server that pings HetrixTools with your current CPU, RAM, and Disk usage data.
