The DH WordPress Monitoring plugin only checks if the WordPress site is not stopped every 10 minutes just by installing the plugin.
This plugin will get your WordPress home_url and administrator email address to save you trouble.
Since information is transmitted using the WP-Cron function, there is a possibility that it may be erroneously determined that the site is stopped in the case of a site with less access.

<h4>Security tips</h4>
There are several ways for people to break in to your WordPress installation, or cause trouble by DDOS. Here are some tips on how to use the Activity Monitor and its plugins to help detect problems:
<ul>
<li>Get a DDOS protection service with an API. There is a plugin to ban IPs via CloudFlare (Send To CloudFlare). Other APIs could be supported as the need arises.</li>
<li>If you have another DDOS service, write a script that can ban visitors by IP. Use this script with the Send To Exec plugin.</li>
<li>If you can’t ban users using a script, at least set up the Send To E-mail plugin to inform you of suspicious activity.</li>
<li>Use the Bruteforce Detect plugin to detect when an IP or IPs are trying to guess the admin’s password. Ban the IPs automatically using Send To Exec.</li>
<li>Do not use admin as the username for your administrator account. Instead, use some else and add the admin username to the list of banned usernames in the Login Failed Username plugin. Ban the IPs that cause the plugin to react.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Custom hooks</h4>
See the <a href="https://pvactivitymonitor.com/doc/dev/" rel="nofollow ugc">developer documentation</a> for relevant info on how to create custom hooks.
