What HetrixTools does
HetrixTools monitors websites and servers from up to 12 locations and watches IP addresses and domains on email blacklists. Its documentation names hetrixtools_bot as the official Telegram bot for its notifications, and the bot's bio describes the same three products.
The bot is simply the delivery channel. Press Start in a private chat and it generates your chat ID; paste that ID into the Telegram section of a contact list on HetrixTools and save. For a team channel, the documentation explains how to add the bot as a channel admin instead. Every monitor that uses that contact list then alerts Telegram when an outage is detected.
The free plan is generous for this category: 15 uptime monitors and 15 server monitors with 1-minute checks from 4 locations, plus domain expiration and SSL monitoring, and Telegram notifications are included on every plan. Server metrics need the HetrixTools agent installed on the machine. Paid plans start at $9.95 a month for 30 monitors and more locations.
