Pulseboard features

HTTP(S) checks

GET, POST or HEAD with custom headers and body. Assert on status code, a keyword, or a JSON path value.

Multi-region confirmation

A failure is re-checked from two other regions before an alert is sent.

SSL certificate expiry

Warnings at 30, 14 and 3 days, plus alerts for chain or hostname errors.

DNS record checks

Alert when an A, AAAA, CNAME, MX or TXT record changes or stops resolving.

TCP and ping

Check databases, mail servers and other services that don't speak HTTP.

Cron and heartbeats

Your job pings a unique URL when it finishes. No ping in the expected window opens an incident.

Alert routing rules

Send alerts by monitor, tag or severity to different channels and people.

On-call schedules

Weekly or custom rotations with overrides for holidays and swaps.

Escalation policies

If an alert isn't acknowledged in time, the next person in the policy is notified.

Maintenance windows

Planned downtime silences alerts and shows a notice on the status page.

Recovery notices

Everyone who was alerted is told when the monitor recovers, with the total downtime.

Custom domain

Point a CNAME at Pulseboard and we issue and renew the TLS certificate.

Incident updates

Post investigating, identified, monitoring and resolved updates from the incident view.

Subscriber emails

Visitors subscribe to updates. You control which components they hear about.
