HTTP Monitors track the availability and performance of web services by sending HTTP requests to specified endpoints at regular intervals. They ensure that your web applications and services are accessible and responsive.

​
Key Features

  • Endpoint Monitoring:
Continuously monitor the status and performance of HTTP endpoints by sending GET, POST, or HEAD requests. Track response status codes, latency, and error rates to ensure endpoints are functioning correctly.
  • Configurable Parameters:
Define the frequency of requests to match your monitoring needs. Set expected response status codes (e.g., 200 for success) and acceptable latency thresholds.
  • Real-Time Alerts:
Receive instant notifications if an endpoint is down or experiencing high latency, allowing for quick remediation. Customize alert thresholds to avoid false positives and ensure meaningful alerts.
  • Performance Metrics:
Collect detailed performance metrics, including response time, success rates, and error rates. Use these metrics to analyze trends and optimize the performance of your web services.

​
Example

Scenario: An online retail store relies on several microservices to handle user authentication, product searches, and checkout processes. Action: Set up HTTP Monitors for each critical microservice endpoint, with checks every 30 seconds and an expected 200 status response. Outcome: The monitoring setup ensures that any downtime or performance issues in the microservices are detected and addressed promptly, maintaining a smooth shopping experience for customers.
