An HTTP status code monitor checks your URLs for an HTTP success status code (2XX) with a selected frequency. If the URL doesn't return this code, the monitor creates an Incident and alerts the current on-call person.
If this is your first time setting up uptime monitoring, we recommend starting with our Introduction to uptime monitoring.
Now that we have defined what the monitor will check, we need to define what happens when the check fails. Specifically, we need to set up who will get alerted and how. The alerting options we can choose from are:
Phone call — This is ideal for any vital business pages that need to be available 24/7. Phone calls are fully automated.
SMS — This is ideal for less critical alerts, such as low-traffic blog pages, or for use in combination with other alerting methods.
We recommend saving the Palzin Monitor phone numbers, so you know who is calling or texting you right away.
We recommend whitelisting the @palzin.app domain in your email client, so that incident alerts are marked as important. This will also prevent any important alerts from going into folders other than the main inbox.
It takes less than a minutes to setup your first monitoring.
