Facts read from this source

• Incident confirmation Report an error

  “With openstatus, the outage is then confirmed across locations: an incident opens only when at least half of the monitor's regions report a failure.”

• Failed check retry Report an error

  “If the service returns an error code, a timeout, or no response, the agent retries the check from the same location.”

• Recovery alert Report an error

  “The monitoring system will continue to check the service until it's back online, at which point a recovery alert is often sent.”

• Check types Report an error

  “Common types of checks include: HTTP/HTTPS checks: Verify a website is accessible and returns a valid response. TCP checks: Confirm a server is reachable on the network.”

• Monitor definition Report an error

  “Monitor: A configured endpoint and the rules for watching it (URL, frequency, regions, assertions).”

• Check definition Report an error

  “Check: A single execution of a monitor at a point in time — one request, one response, one row of data.”

• Regions example Report an error

  “Region: A geographic place where openstatus runs checks from (e.g. iad, fra, sin).”

• Private location Report an error

  “Private location: A region you operate yourself — typically a Docker container behind your firewall — so openstatus can check internal services it could not otherwise reach.”

• Monitoring philosophies Report an error

  “openstatus supports all these approaches, letting you choose what works best for your team.”

• Alert channels Report an error

  “Alerts can be sent via email, Slack, WhatsApp, or other communication channels.”

• Capabilities Report an error

  “Performance monitoring — track response times and identify degradation before outages. Geographic monitoring — verify availability from multiple regions to catch regional issues. Synthetic monitoring — simulate user journeys to catch functional issues. Real user monitoring (RUM) — complement synthetic checks with actual user experience data.”
