Hi, What is the ideal way to monitor my site (and have an email sent to me) when my site fails (e.g. shows a 500)? There seem to be come sites like UptimeRobot which can do this, but I wanted to know if pythonanywhere has an internal facility to alert a site owner when it goes down.

No, we do not have an internal facility for that.

Generally if you want to monitor a site you should look to a service that is completely independent.
@payg thanks for the suggestion! (@ragunyrasta You could start with creating an account on our EU servers and set up an action there...)
Hi @pafk: Not sure I understand your suggestion. Could you please elaborate? I have an account already running a site. How do I set up this action there?
@ragunyrasta You have a PA account registered in www.pythonanywhere.com. We have a EU branch, too, at eu.pythonanywhere.com. The systems are separate infrastructure-wise, so you could deploy a code on the EU account to monitor your main account.
