Platform Features

Alertum Monitoring Platform Features

Alertum helps engineering teams monitor websites, APIs, SSL certificates, TCP ports, heartbeats, scheduled jobs, synthetic journeys, and status pages — all in one platform with unified incident management and on-call scheduling.

Website & API Monitoring

Alertum watches your public URLs, APIs, and SSL certificates around the clock — sending alerts the moment availability or performance drops below your thresholds.

Website Monitoring

HTTP availability checks, status code assertions, response-time thresholds, and automatic incident creation when your site goes down.

Website Uptime Monitoring

Track historical uptime percentages, response time trends, and detect outages before your users or search engines notice.

API Monitoring

Monitor REST and HTTP API endpoints with custom headers, methods, and response assertions. Detect API degradation instantly.

SSL Monitoring

Track certificate expiry dates and HTTPS availability. Get early warnings before expired certificates break user trust.

Infrastructure Monitoring

Monitor the TCP services, hosts, and network endpoints that underpin your stack — from databases and message queues to bare metal servers.

TCP Port Monitoring

Verify that TCP services — databases, queues, caches, and internal microservices — are accepting connections on their configured ports.

Ping Monitoring

ICMP host reachability checks for servers, VMs, and cloud instances. Detect network-level failures before they reach your applications.

Uptime Monitoring Platform

A single platform consolidating website, API, SSL, TCP, heartbeat, and journey monitoring with unified incident management.

Background Job Monitoring

Scheduled jobs and background workers fail silently. Alertum gives every job a unique heartbeat endpoint and creates an incident the moment a run is missed.

Heartbeat Monitoring

Expect periodic pings from cron jobs, workers, and pipelines. Missed signals open incidents for failures that have no visible frontend impact.

Cron Job Monitoring

Add a single HTTP ping to any scheduled task. Alertum alerts you when a job stops reporting within its expected interval and grace window.

Incident Response

Alertum's incident management, escalation policies, and on-call scheduling keep teams coordinated from first detection through resolution.

Incident Management

Structured open → acknowledge → resolve lifecycle with severity, ownership, comments, and timeline tracking for every incident.

Escalation Policies

Route incidents through timed multi-level sequences across Slack, email, and webhooks until a responder acknowledges.

On-Call Scheduling

Define 24/7 rotation schedules so escalation policies always have a valid responder — with current and next-on-call visibility.

Maintenance Windows

Schedule planned downtime windows to suppress false alerts during controlled changes and communicate impact to customers.

Status Pages & Synthetic Journeys

Communicate service health to customers and verify multi-step user workflows — not only individual endpoints.

Status Pages

Publish a public health page showing service status, active incidents, and maintenance notices — keeping customers informed without support tickets.

Synthetic Journeys

Execute sequenced multi-step HTTP flows that mirror real user paths — login, checkout, onboarding — and catch functional failures before users do.

Frequently asked questions

What does Alertum monitor?

Alertum monitors websites, APIs, SSL certificates, TCP ports, heartbeats (cron jobs and background workers), ping/ICMP host availability, and synthetic multi-step user journeys.

Does Alertum have a free plan?

Yes — Alertum offers a free plan covering core monitoring features. See the pricing page for details on plan limits.

How quickly does Alertum detect outages?

Alertum checks at intervals as short as one minute. When a failure crosses your configured threshold, an incident is created and your escalation policy routes alerts immediately.

Does Alertum support on-call scheduling?

Yes — Alertum includes on-call rotation scheduling, multi-level escalation policies, and notification routing via email, Slack, and webhooks.
