DNS Resolution
Ensuring the name is resolved correctly via DNS. This step confirms that the domain name is correctly translated into an IP address, making it accessible to users.
Web Status Monitoring: Keeping Your Sites in Check
We monitor a wide range of web services, including:
- Websites, APIs, and web services using all standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, etc.)
- Mail servers – availability, performance, and DNS blacklist status
- FTP, SFTP, and FTPS server connections
- DNS servers availability
- Any other web services accessable via PING, TCP, or UDP port checks
During these checkups, we verify the following aspects to ensure optimal performance and reliability:
Webpage security
Checks for viruses, trojan horses, malware or other harmful components with our Google Web Risk integration.
Blacklist checks
Monitoring your mail server blacklist status across 50+ DNS lists.
SSL Certificate Validity
Ensuring the SSL certificate is still valid and an SSL connection can be established. This is crucial for secure data transmission and user trust.
Uptime Tracking
Recording how long the site has been online or offline. This information is crucial for understanding service reliability and identifying patterns of downtime.
TCP or UDP Port Monitoring
TCP or UDP port monitoring checks if specific network ports are open and responding on a target system.
Ping checks
Offering ping checks on specified ports. This will help verify the reachability and response time of services running on different ports.
Access Credentials Verification
We also verify access credentials, including HTTP authentication (Basic, Digest, NTLM, Bearer, or combinations like Bearer+Basic) and FTP/SFTP/FTPS login.
Service Availability
Checking if the service, website, or API is reachable. This involves sending a request to the server to verify it responds as expected, indicating that the service is operational.
Content Verification
Checking if the specified text fragment is present on the page. This ensures that essential content or keywords are available, which can be critical for functionality and SEO.
Response Code Validation
Confirming the response code of the website meets expectations (e.g., code 200). HTTP response codes are indicators of the result of the server’s attempt to process a request. A code 200 means the request was successful.
Encryption and Protocol
Determining the encryption and protocol used (e.g., TLS 1.3) in SSL connections. This helps in assessing the security level of the connection to protect data integrity and privacy.
Performance Metrics
Measuring the response time, specifically how long it takes for the first data to be sent back to the client (starttransfer_time). We generate graphs from this data to visualize performance trends and identify potential issues.
Notifications
Sending alerts to an unlimited number of people per checkup, either immediately or, for example, after three consecutive failed checks. This ensures timely awareness and response to any issues detected.
Domain expiration check
Domain expiration check monitors the expiration date of your website’s domain name registration. It alerts you when your domain is approaching its renewal deadline, helping prevent accidental expirations that could lead to website downtime or domain loss.
Upcoming Features
Kerberos Authentication Support
We’re working on adding support for Kerberos (SPNEGO / GSSAPI) authentication in our HTTP checkups. This will enable secure integration with enterprise environments and domain-authenticated web services.
VPN Connectivity Checks
Monitor the availability and responsiveness of your VPN servers to ensure secure connections are consistently operational.
Monthly Monitoring Reports
Receive detailed monthly reports on uptime and performance for your websites, APIs, or web services. Reports will include comprehensive data visualizations and summary insights.
Location - Based Checkups
You’ll soon be able to choose the country or continent from which your checkups are performed – ideal for simulating user experience from specific regions.
