Comment (by phw):

 Replying to [comment:1 hiro]:
 > There is also another aspect to consider, in the case of a service like
 gettor, monitoring the https endpoint will only give us some info about
 the static html we are serving with apache. Gettor itself (the service
 sending emails) is a twisted service instead.

 Gotcha. We have a similar problem with BridgeDB because it is exposed over
 an Apache reverse proxy and you cannot directly talk to BridgeDB.
 However, if BridgeDB is down, bridges.torproject.org responds with an
 internal server error if I remember correctly, so we can still monitor
 BridgeDB despite the reverse proxy, right?

 To monitor BridgeDB, we need to set up an exporter, right?

 > Maybe we can consider an approach in which services expose an http
 endpoint that we can use to know that the service is alive. Otherwise I
 think we could do some other monitoring via nagios checks.
 [[br]]
 I think we already have that for BridgeDB and snowflake's website but not
 for GetTor.
