Website Monitoring
Track endpoint availability and response quality in real time.
Alertum website monitoring sends real HTTP requests to your URLs at configurable intervals, validates status codes and response times, and creates incidents automatically when your site degrades or goes offline.
How it works
Website monitoring checks your critical URLs on fixed intervals, validates response status and timing, and creates incidents when service behavior degrades or goes offline. Recovery is detected automatically, closing the incident and notifying your team.
Core capabilities
- ·HTTP status and timeout monitoring
- ·Response latency trend visibility
- ·Failure and recovery threshold controls
- ·Incident creation on repeated failures
Assertions and thresholds
- ·Expected status code assertion (for example 200 or 2xx)
- ·Maximum response-time threshold per check
- ·Configurable failure/recovery threshold before incident state changes
- ·Per-endpoint timeout boundary to classify check failures
Typical use cases
- ·Public uptime monitoring for customer-facing apps
- ·Critical landing page and auth endpoint validation
- ·Regression detection after deployments
Frequently asked questions
How often does website monitoring check my site?
Alertum can check your website at intervals as short as one minute, depending on your plan.
What counts as a website outage?
An outage is triggered when your URL returns unexpected status codes, times out, or is unreachable for a configured number of consecutive checks.
Does Alertum track response time trends?
Yes — Alertum records response time per check and shows trends so you can detect degradation before a full outage.
Does website monitoring also check SSL?
Alertum has dedicated SSL monitoring that tracks certificate expiry dates. Website monitoring focuses on HTTP availability and response quality.
