Guides for a steadier watch
105 guides
Give your sign-in a second lookout
Set up your authenticator, keep spare backup codes and safely replace your extra lookout.
Give Jira a lookout for downtime and recovery
Connect Jira Cloud, choose where incident tickets land and complete them when your monitors recover.
Give your own tools a signed heads-up
Connect a secure webhook to receive downtime and recovery events, verify signatures and follow deliveries.
Give your tools a scoped key to your nest
Create, protect and revoke scoped API tokens for monitor status and optional pause/resume.
Give IPv4 and IPv6 their own lookout
Choose an address family for endpoint checks and understand what each result means.
Give a public host a gentle ping
Watch whether a public IPv4 or IPv6 host replies to ICMP, with clear limits and the same familiar incident alerts.
Keep a TCP service on watch
Check whether a public hostname and port accepts a connection, without logging in or sending application data.
Keep DNS records on the right path
Watch public DNS records for missing or unexpected values, with the same calm incident alerts as your other monitors.
Give domain renewal a little notice
Watch registry expiry dates, understand unknown results and give your team time to review renewal.
Keep scheduled jobs on watch
Let backups, cron jobs and background tasks report successful completion, and hear when a ping is missing.
Give TLS certificates an early heads-up
Watch certificate trust, hostname and expiry before renewal becomes urgent.
Keep watch on a WebSocket connection
Check a public WebSocket endpoint, optionally send a message and verify its first response.
