Chicago Monitor Location
How about adding a chicago monitor location? Our company is based in Chicago and most of our clients are based here. The response time from LA and Miami are slow.
3 votesResponse time does not impact monitoring, it’s normal to have slower response time from further away locations. But in your case the latency from SF and Miami to Chicago is very small (<10ms) so the performance issue your are seeing is all on your side.

Javascript browser tests
It would be cool to have more advanced browser tests that could test javascript.
It already happened to me that my javascript file couldn't be loaded (come cache issue) which resulted in an unusable website until we realized the javascript had crashed and all menus were unuseable.
Some services can scripted browser tests so we can verify some javascript interactions actually work. Would love to see that on your app.
3 votesUnfortunately this is much more expensive and super unreliable so we’ll never use it for the main monitoring. Though at some point we may add some side features to try your website in a browser from time to time and let you know if it breaks for some reason but that’ll only be warning notifications (like we do with SSL alerts).
And most importantly it won’t be configurable, as this would require a very complex setup which is not in the updown.io philosophy -
Server Monitoring
Copy Monitis and create a server monitoring tool.
Straight from their feature list:
- Native agents for Windows and Linux
- CPU, Memory, Storage and Disk, Network Bandwidth
- Processes and services
- SNMP devices
- TCP protocols: UDP, SIP, IMAP, POP, SMTP, etc.
- WAN links
- Down to 1 minute checks3 votesThat won’t happen, there are plenty of good tools for this already (ex: nixstats) and would be too much work.

Allow coworkers with less permissions
Allow adding people without option to see billing information. they should just be able to login and see.
1 voteThis is basically https://updown.uservoice.com/forums/177972-general/suggestions/17382928-team-accounts so I’m closing this one, please move your vote to this suggestion ;)

Check all pages from one domain
Currently the site only checks the domain home page, it would be interesting an option to scan the site and list all the pages that are inside the site so that we can choose which ones we want to be on the lookout for.

Add ability to shorten check confirmations
It would be great if you could have a check that checks every 10 minutes, but when it starts failing you can have do the confirmation checks every minute.
At the moment (I could be wrong here) if I have it set to check every 10 minutes it would take 30 minutes of downtime for me to get a notification.
3 votesActually the confirmation checks are twice as fast, which means that with a 10 minute period, you’ll be alerted 10 to 20min after the downtime started (and only for downtimes longer than 10 min)
If you check every 10m it means a downtime up to 10m is acceptable. Running confirmation checks faster would mean being sensitive to downtimes smaller than 10min.
If you want faster alerts, you need to select a faster check interval, there’s no point in being notified in 2 min if you check every 10 minutes anyway because If you care about a 2 min downtime at 12:00, you should also care about a 2 min downtime at 12:05 too ;)
In the end, we chose to keep a precise balance between sensitivity and frequency so you can’t be notified for a downtime randomly, this is important because with a 10 minutes interval you can miss a…

Login check
Check with login credentials. Now we can only see the front page.
1 voteThis won’t be done on updown.io because it makes monitoring much more expensive and unreliable as it requires more requests, more parameters, cookie persistence, etc..

The SpeedIndex is a time metic. If you run the SpeedIndex audit from 3 different locations and take the medium value. like speedcurve.com
Speed Index from Webpage Test.org

2 votesThis is an interesting website load time indicator but it requires browser simulation and is much more complicated and expensive to compute, that’s why there are dedicated and expensive tools to do just that. This won’t happen in updown.io.

Time range/blocks
Nice to be able to monitor on specific time windows

Add more time intervals
It would be cool if you also could time intervals like once per day or once per hour since some domains are only important for the SSL monitoring for me.
3 votes10 minutes interval check costs ~0.06€ / month, which is already pretty cheap, even for just the SSL check. It would not be worth it for us to go bellow.

SLA/Office time uptime
Filter on SLA/Office times uptimes
11 votesThe problem is that everyone wants different SLAs (monthly uptime, response time, apdex, etc.) So that won’t be integrated in the product. You’ll have to measure your SLAs with the numbers we give.
-
Check status code AND content
check status code AND content (via regexp) with the same "ping". Currently you should configure 2 "ping", one for the status code and one for the content
1 voteThat’s a pretty limited use-case, an API returning the good content but wrong status is pretty unlikely to happen, not worth modifying the product. If you really want to check both, feel free to use two checks with one very slow (10m) so it doesn’t cost much.
-
Customize Alerts
Customize alerts: you should create custom alerts for (all/specific check(s)) with given (apdex/timeframe):
example.com 0.6 apdex in 15 min → send sms
example.org, example.de 0.3 apdex in 1 hour → send email
etc.1 voteThis won’t happen, updown.io main goal is to be simple and easy to use, so you don’t have to care about this.
-
Reset statistics
It would be good to be able to reset statistics so if you have problems setting up the alert (i.e. it fails a few times until you get it right) then you will never see 100% uptime, but you should.
1 voteYou can simply remove and add your check back once you’ve find the right settings, that’ll clear the history ;)

After more thinking, I’m not gonna do this because having public status page indexed is a feature to me, especially helpful when your website is down and people search “xxxx.com status” for example.

Lots of checks, less often
I'm looking for website checks (404 and other error results vs normal) for a lot of uris, like tens of thousands, but then, not that often. Like every uri once a month.
3 votesupdown.io isn’t suited for this kind of monitoring, the pricing wouldn’t justify the storage costs and all charts and numbers would break. Though we can probably build a small custom tool for this and host it for you if you want. Send some details to support@updown.io if you’re interested.

Have a bug list or forum link
I sometimes see something that makes me think "is this a bug?", but there is no obvious place look it up
1 voteWell we’re not yet swamped by bug reports so just contact us if you see something and we’ll tell you ;)

Specific webhook
It would be cool to add webhooks on event levels.
I just want to call a resource if my server is not reachable, or I just wantro call it if my server started up again.1 voteIt’s simpler this way, you can always filter on the even in your endpoint or use an intermediary like Zapier to do fancy things: https://updown.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/1911991

Default check frequency setting
Default check frequency setting
2 votesThis wouldn’t be very useful, you don’t add new checks very often and if you want to add a lot you can use the API or send me a list so you don’t have to configure all the settings manually.
-
Cookies
It is currently not possible to check websites which place a cookie on initial visit. It would be nice to have an option to enable cookies.
4 votesWhat do you mean by that ? if you want the check to be able to fill out arbitrary form and submit them to authenticate, then store the session cookie and use it to check another page, this is never going to happen in updown.io. If what you mean is being able to send a custom Cookie header with the check request, this is going to be added soon (custom headers).
