Onion Service Monitoring

Dear fellow Onion Service operators, I'm curios how you monitor the availability of your onion services? I implemented a solution with icinga2 check commands. It basically queries the onion service via torsocks and check_tcp command [1]. > > object CheckCommand "check_tor_onion" { > command = [ "torsocks", PluginDir + "/check_tcp" ] > timeout = 6m > arguments = { > "-H" = "$hostname$" > "-p" = "$port$" > "-t" = "$timeout$" > } > } This solution is kind of flaky and produces a lot of mail noise, even if I run it with large timeout value (360s), check attempts and retry intervals. Recently I came across the tool called hsprober [2], which looks like a more compelling option. though it requires a prometheus setup. Since it is a network, where connections constantly looses connections, I would like to know how you treat this flakyness. Regardless of which software stack you use, I'm interested in your concept for monitoring your onion services from the outside (user side) and from the inside (server side). And also which tools do you use. Thank you for any answers and opinions. Have a happy new year. shadow [1] - https://www.monitoring-plugins.org/doc/man/check_tcp.html [2] - https://git.autistici.org/ale/hsprober -- best regards | viele Gruesse, shadow(a)systemli.org receive my key: gpg --keyserver zimmermann.mayfirst.org --recv-keys 0x5C6B6ED4248C1F32

How do I configure my hidden service to use the latest Dos defense in tor 0.4.2.5. In my tor/torrc file underneath my hiddenservice info I added HiddenServiceEnableIntroDoSDefense 1 HiddenServiceEnableIntroDoSRatePerSec 25 HiddenServiceEnableIntroDoSBurstPerSec 200 and tried to reload tor which failed, I then tried remvoving the numbers from the end and still failed. What am I doing wrong?

Hello everyone, I am new here and am wondering if there was a .onion with some other useful .onions on it that could be emailed to me. Like a homepage of sorts? Or .onions for a market place. Thanks! -Bill Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.
