Monitoring for Developers
Your APIs, Cron Jobs & Services — Covered
Monitor production endpoints with custom HTTP requests, catch failed cron jobs with heartbeats, and integrate everything via REST API and webhooks.
Monitoring Should Fit Your Workflow, Not Fight It
You ship code fast. Your monitoring should keep up. Updown Monitor exposes every feature through a REST API and supports webhooks, custom HTTP requests, and language-agnostic heartbeats — so monitoring becomes code, not a chore.
Built for Developer Workflows
REST API for Everything
Create, update, and remove monitors programmatically. Deploy monitoring as code with Terraform or CI pipelines.
Custom HTTP Requests
Monitor APIs with custom methods, headers, bearer tokens, request bodies, and response validation.
Heartbeats for Background Jobs
One-line curl to ping us from any cron job, queue worker, or long-running process. Instant alerts on failure.
Webhooks In & Out
Send webhooks on incidents to your own services. Automate runbook execution or PagerDuty handoffs.
DNS & SSL Monitoring
Detect accidental DNS changes and SSL expiry before they take down your staging or prod environments.
CSV & JSON Exports
Export incident and monitor data for reports, dashboards, or offline analysis.
Common Developer Scenarios
Production API Monitoring
POST sample payloads, validate JSON responses, alert when downstream services break.
Background Workers
Heartbeat from queue consumers and daemons. Catch crashes that tests would never find.
Infrastructure as Code
Create monitors alongside your Terraform/Pulumi stacks using the REST API.
