Hey there HN, Mostro team here :)

In a nutshell:

  - "If CPU on #worker servers is critical for more than 1 minute, then send alerts via PagerDuty and Slack"
  - get a server fully monitored in a few seconds,
  - everything is already configured for you, but very easy to adjust to your needs,
  - you get insights about MySQL, PostgreSQL, Memcache etc. out of the box,
  - the Bash-based agent is secure, open-source, lightweight, no root privileges ever,
  - text-based, server side configuration: easy to deploy accross your infra with tools like Ansible, Chef and Puppet
  - write your own additional checks using in any language (here's a tiny example: https://gist.github.com/KevinBongart/998410d8e6ee2763f4f6)
  - 30-day free trial, no credit card needed, but here's a coupon to monitor 1 server for free forever, just for you: enter "HN4lyfe" in your billing page

This is really strange… would you mind letting me know (contact@kevinbongart.net) if that's a commercial firewall, or if a specific message shows up? First time I hear about this issue, I wouldn't want it to affect other people. Thanks!
