Monitors

Know the moment your site actually goes down

HTTP, TCP, DNS, SSL, keyword, and heartbeat checks run from six regions every interval. Tallwatch opens an incident only when the regions agree, so you act on real outages, not network blips.

Seven check types

HTTP, TCP, ICMP, DNS, SSL, keyword, and heartbeat, one lifecycle.

Six regions

Every check runs in parallel from networks worldwide.

Consensus alerts

An incident opens only when enough regions agree it is down.

Manage as code

Test now, a REST API, and a Terraform provider on day one.

Setup

Set it up in a minute.
Edit it anytime.

A monitor is just configuration. Name it, pick what to check, and choose where it runs. Change any of it later without starting over.

  1. Pick a check type

    Seven types, from HTTP to heartbeat. Choose one and the form shows only the fields that type needs.

  2. Choose your regions

    Run every check from any of six regions. The more you pick, the stronger the consensus behind an alert.

  3. Set the consensus rule

    Decide how many regions must agree something is down before an incident opens. HTTP defaults to 3 of 4.

  4. Edit it anytime

    Interval, regions, and assertions are all editable later. Nothing is recreated, so the monitor keeps its history.
