Overview

Everything you need to keep services online

UptimeGuard runs from 12 monitoring nodes across Moscow, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Krasnodar, Vladivostok, and six international locations. Each probe checks your endpoints every 30 seconds by default, with optional 10-second intervals on the Enterprise tier. Alerts fire in under 2 minutes through Telegram, Slack, email, or webhook.

Core Checks

Monitor every layer of your stack

HTTP / HTTPS Monitoring

Full-request validation with custom headers, body-content matching, and response-time thresholds. Verify that your API returns the expected JSON payload — not just a 200 status code. Supports TLS 1.2 and 1.3 with certificate chain verification.

SSL Certificate Tracking

Watch certificate expiry, issuer changes, and chain-of-trust errors. Get notified 30, 14, and 3 days before expiration. UptimeGuard detected 2,400 silent certificate renewals for its customers in Q3 2024 alone.

DNS Resolution Checks

Query A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, TXT, and SRV records from every probe location. Detect stale DNS propagation, misconfigured load balancers, and DNSSEC validation failures before your users do.

Port & TCP Monitoring

Verify that SSH (22), RDP (3389), PostgreSQL (5432), MySQL (3306), Redis (6379), and any custom TCP port is accepting connections. Optional banner-grab confirms the service identity, not just the open socket.

Messenger Integrations

Push alerts to Telegram channels, Slack workspaces, and Microsoft Teams. Each integration supports per-check routing, so the database team gets PostgreSQL alerts while the frontend team receives CDN incidents. Webhook payloads include full incident context.

Uptime Analytics & Reports

Monthly uptime reports with per-location breakdowns, response-time percentiles (p50, p95, p99), and incident timelines. Export to PDF or share a public dashboard link with stakeholders. Data retained for 12 months on Standard, 36 months on Enterprise.

Deep Dive

Analytics that explain the "why" behind every outage

UptimeGuard's analytics dashboard goes beyond a simple uptime percentage. Every incident is mapped to a timeline with response-time graphs, geolocation heatmaps, and root-cause indicators.

For example, when the payment gateway at payflow.ru experienced a 47-minute degradation on March 12, 2025, the analytics panel showed that the Moscow probe recorded p95 latency of 4.2 seconds while the Yekaterinburg probe stayed under 300 ms — pinpointing a regional BGP anomaly rather than a full service failure. The team resolved the routing issue with their ISP in under 20 minutes.

UptimeGuard calculates availability using the formula (Total Checks − Failed Checks) / Total Checks × 100, with a minimum resolution of 0.01 %. SLA reports can be auto-emailed to CTOs and platform owners on the first business day of each month.

Comparison
