Practical notes, with the free answer first.

These are for people who already run monitors and want a specific job done. Each one starts with what works without Vigil, then says what Vigil does and which edition that part is in.

On this site

• Restart a container when it is unhealthy, or when its URL stops answering. A HEALTHCHECK, autoheal, a small webhook receiver, the Core restart-loop check, and the Commercial recovery loop that checks the service came back.
• Escalation for uptime checks. What to do when a repeat notification is not an on-call ladder, and what Vigil Commercial adds.
• After Opsgenie, if the pages came from uptime checks. The dates Atlassian published, and the cases Vigil does not cover.

Next to these

• Vigil and Uptime Kuma, including when Kuma is the better choice.
• Import an Uptime Kuma database, including what is refused.
• Install and operate Vigil.
• Recovery and operations in the product, and the product tour.
