Hi there,

I’ve recently set up a Keep-Alive service at

http://www.pingalive.com

It’s completely free to register and you can set up 30 sites to be hit every 2 minutes. It has extensive logging and detailed graphs for the results as well.

Give it a go and let me know if you have any suggestions for improvements.

Included our latest Portal Keeper release is a bot that provides the actual service. There is a corresponding user bot as well, which means you can let your portal users have dedicated bots with a list of urls to monitor, each with different schedules, rough statistics and a response time threshold for email alerts.

A bit dated and nothing too fancy, but it should do the job.

We're planning to have an online platform in 2016, with several user bots available, and keep alive monitoring will definitely be amongst the free services. In the mean time, everyone should feel free to instantiate the module and propose the service around.

Also included in the module is a Keep Alive page adapter that enhances the corresponding .aspx page by pre-loading user controls and DNN entities (pages, modules, permissions).
