  10. questionHow can I see response times for each check?
    Unfortunately we do not keep records for individual response times when our checks are successful. Rather we just record a daily average. However, for any failed check we do record individual response times and make these available in the monitor reports.

    In your Control Panel, from the service drop down menu choose dns (53). For the host name enter the name of your dns server.

    A service monitor is defined as any device or service you set up to be monitored. For example if you want to monitor http on your web site, that counts as 1 monitor. If you have 3 service monitors available, you could monitor 3 services on 1 web site, i.e. http, smtp, pop3 OR you could monitor h ...

  14. questionHow do you determine if a server or website is "up"?
    Our system checks the server response code from your website or server. If there is no response, our system will verify the failure using an alternate monitoring location and send an alert. By default, if your server responds with a code of "200", "301", "302", or "403" your monitor is consider ...

  15. questionHow does email monitoring work?
    Our email monitoring does not send an email or receive a test email from your mail server. With both our SMTP and POP mail server monitoring basically our monitoring server connects to the specified mail server and does a "handshake" greeting. If the mail server responds then we report it as up ...

  16. questionHow far back do you keep monitoring statistics for my account?
    Detailed statistics for each monitor are kept for 2 months for our free plans and for the life of the account for our paid plans.

  17. questionI got an alert that my site was down but when I checked it was up?
    The most common cause for such an anomaly would be a network type issue. When you check the failure logs you will likely see errors like "cannot connect", "unable to connect", and similar. So we were not even reaching the web server to get a response (like an HTTP error code or similar.) Also th ...

  18. questionMy failure log shows "Connection Refused", what does this error mean?
    This error means that the connection to your web site or server was actively denied. This usually results when a web site or server is protected by a firewall or the server reaches its connections limit and drops or denies the connection from our system.

  19. questionMy failure log shows "Connection Timed Out", what does this error mean?
    This error means that our monitoring system could not reach your web site or server within the time out period. Typically, our system will wait a specified period of time for a response from your web site or server and if no response is received, we will assume the web site or server is down or ...

  20. questionMy failure log shows "No Route to Host", what does this error mean?
    This error means that the TCP packets have no route (path) between our monitoring location and your server or web site. There are many intermediate networks through which TCP packets pass before they reach the destination server. You can see these intermediate hosts/networks when you run a 'trac ...
