I like the concept of a tor search engine but it is way to complicated for me, I am in my eighties, and I am not a geek, so not knowing what this onion stuff is I will say goodby Mike.

Hey all,
following up on this, we wrote a small prometheus-onion-exporter in go:

Maybe it helps you monitoring your onion sites.

Thank you for your answers,
I will checkout the different solutions and see what fits for my usecase.
Alecs piece of software was a good first starting point for and shows that it is a complexer problem.
I hope you all are doing well and have a happy new year,

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.
