Monitoring & Maintenance
Website Uptime Monitoring
A server can be 'up' while every website on it serves errors, uptime monitoring must check what visitors actually experience. Content-aware checks from multiple locations, with keyword verification and performance thresholds, catch the outages ping tests miss.
Key points
- Check from multiple continents to separate local blips from real outages.
- Verify page content keywords, not just HTTP 200 status codes.
- Monitor checkout, login, and form endpoints as transactions, not pages.
- Alert on response-time degradation before it becomes downtime.
- Track SSL validity, domain expiry, and blacklist status in the same system.
- Maintain public or private status pages for customer trust.
- Correlate site alerts with server metrics to localize faults fast.
- Report uptime monthly with incident timelines for accountability.
Field note
Assert on content keywords, not status codes. A 200 OK serving a database-error page is an outage your monitor just certified as healthy.
