Is MetriBeacon free?

Yes, within the displayed usage limits. More keys or workspaces do not create extra allowances. See Usage for your account limits.

No. Sign in with a link or six-digit code sent to your email. Provider sign-in is available when its button is shown.

No. A gap means no reliable reading is available. Check the sender, clock and connection before assuming the monitored source failed.

Original readings expire after seven days. Longer periods use summaries: minute, 15-minute or hourly values. See retention.

Check the destination and delivery history. Sent means provider acceptance, not confirmed receipt. Check spam, mute, maintenance and reached limits.

No. Your scheduler starts them. The CLI wrapper reports their start and outcome; a successful report does not prove the task's output is correct.

Yes, with your own broker and the local bridge. MetriBeacon receives its readings over HTTPS.
