01
Choose checks
Identify the URLs, expected responses and the owner of each service. Agree a check interval appropriate to the use case.
Monitoring / Uptimer
Turn availability checks into an owned response.
Organise website availability and link checks around the services your team needs to keep working.
For site operators and domain teams who need to know what failed and who should act next.
The problem
A clearer handoff,
not another loose task.
A failed check is only useful if someone can tell whether the site is down, a link changed or a temporary network error needs another look.
Workflow guide
How to approach the first setup.
02
Triage
Review failed checks with their context. Distinguish an availability incident from a changed destination or a temporary response.
03
Close the loop
Record who investigated and what was verified after recovery. Use the history to review alert quality and recurring issues.
Illustrative example
Check → investigate → verify
Fictional examples to explain the workflow. Not a live product screenshot, real activity or a customer result.
| Service | Observation | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Homepage | Expected response | Continue checks |
| Checkout | Unexpected response | Investigate |
| Documentation | Destination changed | Review link |
Bring to the conversation
Start with the context.
Public URLs you own or operate
Expected status or destination
An incident owner and notification preference
Use a redacted example. Do not include passwords or private customer data in your first message.
Confirm before setup
Fit, access and limits.
Check locations, intervals, notification integrations and history retention must be confirmed. A monitoring check is not an availability guarantee or an SLA.
Request the available deployment model, pricing, support terms and data-handling details for your chosen setup.
Questions for a deployment reviewCommon questions
Before you connect anything.
Does this guarantee my site stays online?
No. Monitoring helps a team detect and investigate failures; availability also depends on hosting, DNS, application code and the response process.
Which alert channels can I use?
Include the notification channel you need in your enquiry. Confirm the supported integration and escalation behaviour before deployment.
