Uptime Monitoring

Uptime checks recorded to a full incident history, published on a clean public status page your clients can check themselves. Alerting is not built yet — we record incidents, we don't notify you about them.

Straight with you: monitors record a check every time the checker runs, but nothing schedules it automatically in production yet. Treat this as incident history + status pages today, not an always-on watchdog.

What you get

Configurable Intervals

Set a check interval per monitor, down to one minute. Note: the checker currently runs on demand — there's no automatic scheduler in production yet.

Downtime Alerts

Email, Slack and webhook notifications when a monitor changes state. Not built yet — it isn't included in any plan and you can't buy it today.

Coming Soon

Public Status Pages

Give clients a branded status page showing real-time uptime data and incident history.

Incident History

Every check that runs is recorded with its status code and response time, and rolled up into a 90-day uptime bar.

How it works

1

Add a Monitor

Enter the URL you want to monitor and choose a check interval.

2

We Record Checks

When the checker runs, it requests your URL and logs the status code and response time. Automatic scheduling is still to come.

3

Share the Truth

View incident history and response time trends, and share a public status page so clients can check for themselves.

Frequently asked

What HTTP methods are used for checks?

We send an HTTP HEAD request first and fall back to GET if that fails. The monitor checks the response status code — any 2xx response is considered "up", while 4xx/5xx responses or timeouts are marked "down".

Will you notify me when my site goes down?

Not yet — and we'd rather say so than let you find out the hard way. Downtime is recorded as an incident on your dashboard and status page, but SiteSmith does not currently send any email, Slack, push or webhook alert when a monitor changes state. Alerting is on the roadmap, it isn't included in any plan, and you aren't paying for it. Until it ships, don't rely on SiteSmith as your only line of defence for a site that matters.

Do checks run automatically around the clock?

Not in production today. The checker records a result every time it runs, but there is no scheduler wired up on our production host yet, so monitors you create are not being polled on a timer. We're fixing that — until then, treat uptime monitoring as incident history and status pages rather than continuous 24/7 monitoring.

Can I create a public status page?

Yes! Create a status page from the dashboard, assign monitors to it, and share the public URL with clients. The page shows real-time status with a 90-day uptime history bar.

How many monitors can I have?

Free plans include 1 monitor and 1 status page. Pro plans include 10 monitors and 10 status pages, and Agency plans are unlimited.
