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
with Uptime Kuma and healthchecks.io, you can do everything. Uptime Kuma to monitor "services" (web server, database), and healthchecks to monitor punctual jobs (backup jobs, etc)

Ask HN: How do you monitor your systemd services?
If you are ok with a Saas and if it's just scheduled jobs that you are monitoring, there are a number of monitoring tools where you tell when job completes (with a http request) and a missing ping (after a grace period) means that it failed.
I think https://deadmanssnitch.com/ may have been the original service for this.
https://healthchecks.io/ has a fairly generous free tier that I use now.
There are others that do the same thing Sentry, Uptime Robot, ...

Show HN: Peeng – like Pingdom, but the other way around and simpler
A service in a very similar vein is https://healthchecks.io/ - which also provides a nice perspective on how low-effort the setup for a service with a substantial amount of users can be. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31488910
The blog also contains a bunch of useful information and guides around the topic, including various unusual configurations (arduino/esp8266) as well as information on self-hosting.

Detecting and alerting for power failures
i use https://healthchecks.io/ and highly recommend it.
You can use a service like https://healthchecks.io/ for example. There is an article describing the idea here: https://www.signl4.com/blog/monitoring-still-alive-heartbeat-check/.

Software recommendations: Network monitoring dashboard
At the opposite end of the spectrum, you can go along way with free and open-source software. LibreNMS is fantastic and auto-detects 99.9% of COTS network and IT equipment. However, it doesn't work as well when polling broadcast kit like IRDs, basically because all the integrations are created by the community and the broadcast/AV world is tiny compared to the IT world. But you could always write an integration to make sense of the SNMP MIBs and contribute it back to the community.

VYOS firewall filter to Syslog config
I would set session logs on the Vyatta and send them to a syslog (graylog) https://www.graylog.org/ and monitoring server like LibreNMS https://www.librenms.org/. You can enable session logs by using these commands:
- Network Tools - Docker Image
- VLANS without switches
- Recommendations for simple network discovery and alerting tool

What's everyone using for monitoring and centralized logging these days?
I recently started using LibreNMS. So far it has been great. I've firewalls, switches, servers and services that I wanted to monitor and setup alarms for. Very easy to setup! Just install or enable SNMP service on asset and point LibreNMS to their direction. I've SNMP running on management vlan on local network and Wireguard tunnels to remote assets.
