Use an automatic uptime monitor with notifications to always know if your node is running and reachable. Also, this way, you will know when your node is down the very moment it goes down, thus minimizing the time it will take you to get it back online. And it will help the operators mental health, because you don't need to constantly check on your node just to ensure everything is fine.
A simple way to do this:
- Set up (uptime kuma)[https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma] on a different machine.
- Create a monitoring configuration where your LN node has to ping your Uptime Kuma every minute to confirm it is alive.
- Leverage Uptime Kuma Telegram integration to receive a message when your node goes down (and up).
