Uptime.com is a hosted monitoring service that checks whether websites, APIs, servers and scheduled jobs are available and performing well. It is aimed at engineering, operations and SRE teams, and the company calls its approach unified availability monitoring. The platform has operated since 2013.
The founders say it began after a major web outage left them without an affordable, easy-to-use monitoring option. Today the product covers uptime checks, synthetic transactions, real user monitoring, status pages and reporting. Its listed solution pages target ecommerce, education, finance, IT services, SaaS, enterprise and Shopify.
Users configure checks that run against a URL, server or IP address. Basic checks send simple requests and measure response time, status codes and availability. Advanced checks simulate user interactions, call APIs or wait for heartbeat signals from cron jobs. Checks run at 1-minute frequency and execute from a global probe network.
When a check fails, the alerting engine sends notifications by email, SMS, phone or mobile push, and to 20+ integrations. The company says the engine is tuned to reduce false positives. Private location monitors can be deployed to test systems behind a firewall, while results feed dashboards, SLA reports and status pages.
The check library is broad. Basic checks include HTTP(S), SSL/certificate, DNS, ping, TCP, UDP, SSH, NTP, SMTP, IMAP, POP, FTP(S), domain blacklist, malware/virus and WHOIS. Advanced checks add API, transaction, micro-transaction, extended transaction, page speed, webhook, heartbeat, group, traceroute and third party cloud status monitoring.
Real user monitoring tracks load times and errors with performance baselines and 13-month data retention. Status pages support subscribers, custom sub-domains, password protection and a Google Analytics pixel. Reporting covers unlimited dashboards, SLA reports, root cause analysis and scheduled exports. Account controls include SSO, 2FA, audit logs and subaccounts.
