At a glance

  • URL checks for websites and APIs
  • HTTP method, headers, body, timeout, and Basic Auth support
  • Response time and status history for investigation

How it helps

Use HTTP monitors for login pages, API health endpoints, landing pages, and SaaS product routes that must stay reachable.

Checks can validate the request shape and expected response status, making the monitor useful for operational readiness and not only network reachability.

Response history feeds dashboard cards, uptime summaries, recent checks, incidents, and public status displays when enabled.
