I’m working on lemmy-meter which is a simple observability solution for Lemmy end-users like me, to be able to check the health of a few endpoints of their favourite instance in a visually pleasing way.

👉 You can check out a screenshot of the pre-release landing page.

💡 Currently, lemmy-meter sends 33 HTTP GET requests per minute to a given instance.

For a few reasons, I don’t wish lemmy-meter to cause any unwanted extra load on Lemmy instances.
As such I’d like it be an opt-in solution, ie a given instance’s admin(s) should decide whether they want their instance to be included in lemmy-meter’s reports.

❓ Now, assuming I’ve got a list of instances to begin w/, what’s the best way to reach out to the admins wrt lemmy-meter?

PS: The idea occurred to me after a discussion RE momentary outages.

    Update 1

    Thanks all for your feedback 🙏 I think everybody made a valid point that the OOTB configuration of 33 requests/min was quite useless and we can do better than that.

    I reconfigured timeouts and probes and tuned it down to 4 HTTP GET requests/minute out of the box - see the configuration for details.

    🌐 A pre-release version is available at lemmy-meter.info.

    For the moment, it only probes the test instances

    I’d very much appreciate your further thoughts and feedback.
