Uptime Monitoring

Uptime monitoring is a feature that periodically checks if your services are available. SecuryBlack automatically checks every minute by default, if your API, website, or TCP service responds correctly.

If something goes down, you receive an immediate alert. When it recovers, another alert confirming everything is fine.

1. 1

   Go to your dashboard

   Navigate to the "Uptime" section in your dashboard

2. 2

   Click "New Monitor"

   Enter the URL or IP:port of your service

3. 3

   Choose between HTTP, HTTPS, or TCP

4. 4

   Configure options

   Frequency, timeout and consecutive failures before alerting

5. 5

   Done!

   The monitor will start checking your service instantly

HTTP/HTTPS

Monitor APIs, websites, and web services. Checks that the URL answers with a 2xx or 3xx code.

TCP

Monitor generic TCP services like databases, message queues, or custom services. Only checks that the port is open and responds.

Timeout

Configure how long to wait before considering the service down

Retries

Number of consecutive failures before sending an alert

When a monitor detects your service is down, SecuryBlack can notify you via:

• Email
• Discord
• Telegram
• Slack

Configure notification channels in your dashboard and associate them with each monitor.

Each monitor keeps a history of the last 50 checks, including:

• Exact timestamp of the check
• HTTP status code (if applicable)
• Latency in milliseconds
• Reason for failure (if any)

• Monitor a specific endpoint (e.g., /health) instead of the homepage
• Use retries to avoid false positives from temporary latency
• Set up multi-channel alerts for critical services
• Review history periodically to detect instability patterns
