Monitoring solutions
Choose the monitoring layer that matches the risk
Not every problem shows up in the same way. Use this page to compare monitoring types and pick the mix that actually fits your product.
Solution overview
Start with the basics, then add deeper layers where the risk or outage cost gets higher.
Foundation
Website monitoring
Covers availability, response time, and the first signals of customer-visible problems.
View solutionBackend
API monitoring
Helps you catch endpoint failures, performance drops, and backend errors before customers feel them.
View solutionTrust
SSL monitoring
Warns you before certificates expire or become invalid, so users do not hit browser security warnings.
View solutionAvailability
DNS monitoring
Makes it easier to spot bad records, config changes, and domain resolution problems sooner.
View solutionContinuity
Domain monitoring
Tracks renewals and changes that can suddenly block traffic or damage brand trust.
View solutionServices
Port monitoring
Checks critical network services and helps separate app issues from service availability issues.
View solutionUser experience
Real User Monitoring
Shows what real users actually experience: frontend performance, browser errors, and device or location-specific issues.
View solutionActive checks
Synthetic monitoring
Simulates user flows so you can catch failures before real traffic hits them.
View solutionCritical paths
User journey monitoring
Focuses on the flows that matter most, such as sign-up, login, and order completion.
View solutionOutage context
Provider status monitoring
Lets you quickly verify whether the issue is in your app or with an outside provider.
View solutionInternal environments
Private infrastructure monitoring
Gives visibility where public checks cannot reach: private networks, local services, and closed environments.
View solutionA sensible starting point
If you are not sure where to begin, these three paths usually create the best first setup.
Online store and revenue protection
Combine website, checkout, and synthetic checks when outages translate directly into lost orders.

Which monitoring type should I start with?
Most teams start with website monitoring, SSL, and domain health. After that, add the layer that protects your critical process, such as checkout, API health, or background jobs.
Is one monitoring type enough?
Usually not. Each layer answers a different kind of problem. Basic uptime is only the start, and a fuller picture comes from combining a few complementary checks.
How do I avoid setting up too many monitors on day one?
Start with the places where failure hurts revenue, trust, or support load. Add the rest only after the basics are working consistently.
Next step
Combine the right layers and react faster
Good monitoring is not about the number of checks. It is about seeing the right problems at the right time.
