I'm on the hunt for an agent-based monitoring solution that can let us know if a remote endpoint goes down. We tried CheckMK SaaS, but their polling frequency of 1 minute isn't fast enough for our needs; we're looking for something closer to real-time checks. Any recommendations?

Uptime Kuma is pretty solid and supports 1-second polling. Just keep in mind the resource implications if you're monitoring a lot of endpoints. If you're interested, it might be worth a shot!
+1 for Uptime Kuma, it’s versatile!
Polling faster than 60 seconds for something like uptime can really drain your system’s resources, like CPU and network use. You might want to consider that before going too crazy with the frequency. It's all about balance!
Yeah, I get that. The issue we're facing is that a system went down for about 45 seconds and we missed it with the 60-second polling from PRTG. I feel stuck without a good solution.
Have you looked into TacticalRMM? I've found it quite helpful for monitoring needs.
That sounds great, but we need an agent-based solution since these machines are at customer sites and we don't have a VPN available.
