UpVisor Guide

What can you monitor?

UpVisor is a Swiss Army knife for your infrastructure. Here are all available check types and use cases.

🌐 Websites & API

Classic Uptime monitoring. We send an HTTP request (GET, POST, HEAD) to your URL every 60 seconds (on PRO plan).

A server might return 200 OK but show a blank page ("White Screen of Death") or a PHP/DB error text. Standard monitoring won't catch this.

✅ Should Contain

Alert if phrase is MISSING.

❌ Should NOT Contain

Alert if phrase APPEARS.

"Critical Error"

Forgot to renew your domain or SSL? Browsers will show a scary "Not Secure" warning to your users.

📅

Notification Schedule

We alert you 30, 7, and 1 day before expiration.

We support Smart Health Check for Databases. Choose your depth:

Leaves User/Pass EMPTY.

We check TCP Handshake + Protocol Response. Safe, no creds needed.

Enter User/Pass.

We execute a real SQL query (SELECT 1). Requires a READ-ONLY user!

Check network availability via ICMP Echo Request.

⚠️

Limitations

AWS/Azure often block ICMP. If Ping fails, try TCP Check on port 22.

Monitor container health via built-in HEALTHCHECK.

HEALTHCHECK --interval=5m --timeout=3s \
  CMD curl -f https://upvisor.com/api/v1/beat/{UUID} || exit 1

💡

The "Frozen Bot" Problem

Bots often freeze in a loop without crashing. The process exists, but it doesn't reply.

Add a request to UpVisor in your bot's loop every minute. No request = bot is stuck.

Most game servers (CS:GO, Rust) use UDP. Standard TCP/HTTP checks fail.

We accept local Russian payment methods.
