Monitors

In Pulsetic, a Monitor is like your personal watchdog, constantly checking if your websites, servers, APIs, or network ports are up as it should be. Think of it as a "Health Check," "Uptime Probe," or "Service Monitor." Each monitor has its own settings, telling Pulsetic exactly how to check and what to look for.

What Monitors Do for You

These monitors don't just check if your site is up or down. They measure:

✓ Availability (is your service reachable?)

✓ Response times (how fast it responds)

✓ Performance (is it working correctly?)

You can create different monitors for each important part of your online presence: your main website, API, database, or any critical service. Pulsetic runs these checks as often as every 30 seconds, giving you real-time insights into your system's health.

When something goes wrong, your monitors immediately alert you through your preferred channels (email, SMS, Slack, etc.), so you can fix issues before they affect your users. They also keep historical data, helping you spot patterns and improve reliability over time.

In short, monitors are the foundation of Pulsetic's protection; they're what give you peace of mind that your digital services are always running smoothly.
