The Factoid Authority (TFA) and De Facto has set up individual node monitoring which can be used by everyone for free:
Local tools
Factomd comes with a few ways to monitor your node's health. The most obvious tool is the control panel found at localhost:8090. Information about the control panel can be found here Factomd control panel​Factomd also used to come with more monitoring tools called Prometheus and Grafana. If you want to include them in your package, you can run Grafana and Prometheus docker images:1
docker run -d --name=grafana -p 3001:3001 grafana/grafana
2
docker run -d --name=prometheus -p 9090:9090 prom/prometheus
