Frequently asked questions
What is Web Application Monitoring?
Web Application Monitoring is a service that checks the health and functionality of your website application. It goes beyond basic uptime checks by simulating user interactions to ensure your web application delivers the intended user experience. It can monitor various elements like login forms, e-commerce processes, and other critical functionalities.
How do I get started with Web Application Monitoring?
Getting started is quick and easy. First, sign up by providing your name, email, and password. Then, use our user-friendly tool to create a web transaction and specify the steps for Uptimia to follow. Once set up, you'll receive notifications if any issues are detected.
How many steps can I include in a web transaction?
You can configure transactions with up to 20 steps for comprehensive application monitoring. This allows you to thoroughly test complex processes within your web application.
How does Uptimia avoid false alerts?
To ensure accuracy, we check your transaction three times from multiple monitoring locations before confirming an issue. Only when all three secondary checks confirm a web transaction failure will you receive a notification. This approach minimizes false alerts.
What happens if one of Uptimia's data centers goes down?
Uptimia's service is hosted across multiple data centers with 171 probes strategically positioned worldwide. Even if one data center goes down, our service persists, allowing us to monitor your websites without interruption. This design makes our service highly resilient.
Do I need advanced technical skills to set up transaction monitoring?
No, our transaction builder tool is designed to be user-friendly. You can configure user interactions in just a few minutes. Basic CSS skills are sufficient to guide our real browser through each step of the journey.
What kind of alerts can I receive?
Uptimia can alert you via email, SMS, Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Pagerduty, and many other tools. You can easily integrate Uptimia with your preferred notification platforms.
What information is included in the monitoring reports?
Regular reports include metrics such as page load time, response time for each step, incident counts, and troubleshooting details. These reports can be customized with your company colors and logo.
How does Uptimia help with failure analysis?
