Monitor types

  • Website: status code and optionally a phrase that must (or must not) be on the page.
  • SSL certificate: invalid or expiring within the warning window (14 days by default).
  • Domain expiry, Port and Heartbeat (a private ping address your scheduled jobs call).

Incidents

A failed check is retried after 2 seconds before it counts. An incident opens after the number of failures in a row you choose (2 by default) and closes on the next successful check. Alerts go to the bell, by email and to an optional webhook, with a cooldown against repeats.
