Downtimes have been nightmares for all of us. It takes at least 1-2 hours during the day and 5-6 hours during the night before you find out that your websites down. Also keep in mind that your hosting provider may not able and/or may not be interested to provide you with objective uptime report. Indeed, very few providers can do monitoring from outside of their infrastructure, so for example when the router is down you will get false positive uptime report. ISPs do not always give out their network monitoring data, as well. There is no way we can monitor our websites 24 hours a day. Thankfully, there’s Mon.itor.us.
Mon.itor.us is a FREE web2.0 ajax-based website that provides 24 x 7 network and website monitoring service with personalized interactive interface, where you can add server performance and availability tests, get uptime reports, add contacts to get the alert notifications. Tests will be performed from geographically distributed servers. The monitoring will be performed outside of your network firewall and on the application level – that is a big advantage over ISP provided (if they do) network monitoring. With Mon.itor.us, you can drag and drop the modules on the same page or drag to another page, you can create new pages, rename page directly clicking on the name of the page. You can edit module parameters, e.g. switch between chart and table views for test results. Your modifications will be saved in real time and you will find your personalized page next time when you go to our site. Everything will be conveniently accessible from any computer after sign in.
Overall, Mon.itor.us provides an easy and flexible interface for users – system and network admins, operations monitoring and support group. It gives the possibility to create plenty of useful reports, tests, notes, etc on the workspace as user considers proper. The ability of drag and drop elements from one page into other makes workplace customization easy and convenient and gives the sense of layered workspace.
You can signup for a Mon.itor.us account directly from their website.
