Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Webhooks suck, but here are alternatives
In fact, your platform (https://healthchecks.io/) is a prime example of where running customer wasm would be really excellent.
Instead of sending webhooks out to customer configured URLs, you could run a Wasm environment to execute customer code. Off hand, a good use case here is to do further inspection of the event before it gets sent off to some other system - maybe there are cases where you send false-positives and needlessly trigger external system alerts. The customer Wasm could do more introspection on the healthcheck event and make a more informed decision about how to proceed.

What do you use for external monitoring?
i use healthchecks.io and have been very happy

Show HN: OnlineOrNot – Cron Job Monitoring
Is there anything different from https://healthchecks.io/ --- a service I've been using for free for a couple years now?
-
Prioritize IPv4 over IPv6 in dual stack
Because of this block on the router, and the fact that IPv6 connections are by default preferred over IPv4, many things on the system now cannot access the internet. the only things that can access the internet are for accessing servers that ONLY support IPv4 like my mail.smpt2go or my uptime monitoring scripts for healthchecks.io.
- Ask HN: How do you monitor your systemd services?
- Show HN: Peeng – like Pingdom, but the other way around and simpler
-
Detecting and alerting for power failures
i use https://healthchecks.io/ and highly recommend it.
-
Managing re-occurring tasks - Daily/weekly/monthly
We use a heartbeat system. Basically the monitoring continuously sends an alert to a healtcheck system. If that heartbeat fails, PagerDuty sends an alert to the oncall.

Uptime site monitor - notification solutions for home while sleeping
i like healthchecks.io

Cartun: The Ultimate Solution for Device Monitoring

With what should I use ansbile?
Look into AWX as an alternative to Tower. If you just want better reporting on runs, check out ARA or callback plugins.
- Show HN: ARA Records Ansible and makes it easier to understand and troubleshoot
-
Ansible-Semaphore vs Ansible AWX
Also worth considering is ARA for playbook reporting, and then whatever you want for orchestration (Jenkins, Azure Devops, Rundeck, etc).
-
Zabbix to monitor ansible
Why not use ara?
-
How would I get a list of IP addresses of failed hosts and details?
For general recording of playbook activity with a web dashboard, ARA works really well.
- Planning on writing a callback plugin - is there a unique variable to identify a particular play being run?
-
A way to log which user excuted a playbook
If you don’t want any UI / access control then you can also look at ARA - https://ara.recordsansible.org This works as a callback plugin to capture the job run data.

Benchmarking ansible-core 2.11 vs 2.14 and python 3.9 vs 3.11 along with ara's database backends
I'm not sure how to interpret running 100 debug messages (https://github.com/ansible-community/ara/blob/master/tests/integration/benchmark_tasks.yaml) into real life performance. Mitogen's Benchmark used either 100 times a "hostname" command on the target machine (https://github.com/mitogen-hq/mitogen/blob/master/tests/ansible/bench/loop-100-items.yml) or running the DebOps project (https://github.com/debops/debops-playbooks/blob/master/playbooks/common.yml) for some sorta real-world module usage.
