FAQ
Questions, answered.
What is uptime monitoring?+
Uptime monitoring checks whether important services are reachable and behaving as expected, then records failures so teams can investigate and respond.
What can UptimePilot monitor?+
UptimePilot supports websites, HTTP and REST APIs, SSL certificates, heartbeat endpoints, TCP services, and network hosts through ping monitoring.
How does UptimePilot detect downtime?+
It evaluates scheduled check results or expected heartbeat signals against each monitor's configured conditions. A failed result can create an incident.
Can I monitor websites and APIs?+
Yes. HTTP and HTTPS monitors support configurable methods, expected status codes, custom headers, intervals, and timeouts.
Can I monitor background jobs?+
Yes. Heartbeat monitoring can watch cron jobs, backups, scheduled scripts, and background workers.
Can I monitor SSL certificates?+
Yes. UptimePilot can track certificate validity and expiration for HTTPS endpoints.
How are monitoring failures handled?+
Failed checks are recorded, can create incidents according to configured rules, and can send push or email notifications through configured channels.
