BetterUptime powers our status.vmst.io page. It monitors the status of our external endpoints:
Uptime is calculated for the last 30/90 days. We regularly report on these statistics from our @iostat bot.
In addition to providing a page for members to check when there might be issues, it actively alerts our team to any issues.
We use integrated metrics monitoring available through DigitalOcean to monitor and alert on CPU, memory, disk, and other performance metrics of the host virtual machine and managed database systems.
Moderation
In the spirit of full disclosure, we have decided to make our moderation process open to public viewing. The purpose is to guide our staff in their decisions to take action on a member.
Relays
Relays allow all content from participating servers to be directly federated to everyone else, without waiting for a direct user connection to be established. This helps with content discovery and more to complete conversation threads and hashtags for our users.
