Pingdom GIGRIB is a free, distributed uptime monitoring software enabling users to monitor websites in exchange for becoming a part of the monitoring network. Public and searchable uptime information is gathered for added convenience.
If you're looking for a free and unique uptime monitoring service, Pingdom GIGRIB is the way to go. Instead of paying a fee for monitoring a website's uptime, GIGRIB lets users add their own websites to the monitoring network in exchange for allowing their computers to become "test nodes" that report uptime for multiple websites to a central location.
With thousands of websites added by GIGRIB users, the uptime information is public and searchable. Each user can add up to 10 different websites for monitoring, and the downtime of all added sites can be seen on uptime.pingdom.com.
Once you install the GIGRIB client, your computer becomes part of the monitoring network. For every hour of work your GIGRIB client does for the network, you'll receive an additional five hours of uptime checks for the websites that you've added. This allows you to accumulate up to 30 days of monitoring, which is great for those who may be going on vacation and need to have their computer turned off for an extended period.
Overall, GIGRIB is an excellent solution for website owners looking to monitor uptime without having to pay a fee, while also contributing to a larger monitoring network. The fact that the uptime information is public and searchable only enhances the usefulness of the service.
