Question 1

What is uptime monitoring?

Accepted Answer

Uptime monitoring is the practice of continuously checking whether your website or web application is accessible and responding correctly. A monitoring service sends HTTP/HTTPS requests to your site at regular intervals (every 1-5 minutes) and alerts you immediately when it detects downtime or errors.

Question 2

How often does upsonar check my website?

Accepted Answer

Check frequency depends on your plan: the free Echo plan checks every 5 minutes, Pulse checks every minute, and Wave checks every 30 seconds. All plans check from all 9 global regions simultaneously.

Question 3

What is multi-region monitoring and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

Multi-region monitoring means checking your site from multiple geographic locations simultaneously. This is critical because your site might be down in Asia but up in Europe due to CDN failures, DNS propagation issues, or regional hosting problems. Single-location monitors would miss these outages entirely.

Question 4

How does upsonar prevent false alerts?

Accepted Answer

When a check fails from one region, we immediately verify from other regions before sending an alert. If the failure is confirmed from multiple locations, we create an incident and notify you. This prevents false alerts caused by temporary network issues at a single check location.

Question 5

What happens when my site goes down?

Accepted Answer

When downtime is detected and confirmed: 1) An incident is created automatically with full diagnostics (response codes, failed regions, affected dependencies). 2) You receive instant alerts via your configured channels (email, Telegram, webhooks). 3) We continue monitoring and notify you when the site recovers. 4) The incident is closed with a full timeline.

Question 6

Can I monitor APIs and not just websites?

Accepted Answer

Yes. upsonar can monitor any HTTP/HTTPS endpoint — websites, REST APIs, GraphQL endpoints, webhooks, and more. We check the response status code and can verify response content.
