Windows heartbeat
Track whether the VPS or Windows machine is still alive and reporting.
Signalator Notify · Forex VPS monitoring
Know when your trading VPS stops reporting.
Signalator Notify monitors Windows VPS heartbeat and trading-machine availability, then alerts you when the machine goes offline, recovers, or stops sending expected updates.

Problem
A broker account may be fine while the machine running it is not.
Many traders run EAs and terminals on remote Windows VPS machines. Broker platforms do not always tell you that the machine itself stopped reporting. Notify gives the VPS its own heartbeat so you can separate machine availability from terminal and trade monitoring.
What it covers
Focused monitoring, not generic noise.
These pages are intentionally narrow: one problem, one setup, one path to activation.
Offline and recovery alerts
Receive alerts when the machine misses expected heartbeats and when it returns.
Separate from terminal health
Keep VPS monitoring separate from MT4, MT5, and cTrader terminal monitoring.
Alert history
Use the dashboard to review when a machine went offline, recovered, and how alerts were routed.
Alert examples
Clear alert text for real operating events.
- Windows VPS 01 is offline
- Windows VPS 01 recovered
- Heartbeat missed for 120 seconds
- Dashboard alert created for VPS Monitor
- Mobile push delivered for offline event
Important distinction
- VPS Monitor checks the machine heartbeat.
- Terminal Health checks the trading terminal heartbeat.
- Trade Monitoring checks actual trade events.
Setup
From source to alert in four steps.
1
Create a Windows Monitor source
Create a monitor object for the VPS or Windows machine.
2
Download Windows Monitor
Install or run the lightweight Windows heartbeat application.
3
Pair the monitor
Save the source token locally so the machine can report heartbeat updates.
4
Watch offline/recovered flow
Notify alerts you when the machine stops reporting and when it comes back.
FAQ
Common questions before activation.
Is this the same as terminal monitoring?
No. VPS monitoring checks the Windows machine. Terminal Health checks MT4, MT5, or cTrader separately.
Do I need one monitor per VPS?
Usually yes. One VPS Monitor represents one Windows machine or VPS instance.
Can it restart the VPS?
This landing page covers monitoring and alerts. Advanced restart/watchdog functionality should be handled by a separate Windows Terminal Watchdog product.
Can I receive alerts on my phone?
Yes. Alerts can be sent through mobile push, Telegram, and dashboard depending on configured channels.
Start with one live setup
Connect one source, prove the alert flow, then scale.
Use Notify for the setups where silence is most expensive: VPS heartbeat, terminal health, trade events, price alerts, and profit milestones.
