Alerting is a basic thing and it is done kind of OK by some others. But true analytics is hard to get, we are still working on providing better reports. As an obvious plus, we provide status pages we produce by the monitoring data collected. This is for not making you depend on another service just for a status page.

Also, we are looking for ways to make WebGazer a complete monitoring and analytics platform. Plans still aren't very clear but server monitoring or client-side analytics are some things we have in mind.

I don't mean to shit on your product, it's good! I think you need to be clearer about why I should pay quite so much more for it. At the moment it doesn't seem worth it by a long shot. If you plan to build the platform out into something more featureful, then say that, and give early adopters a discount (so that they're not paying more for services which are currently equivalent). Uptime Robot has been around for 8 years, and they're still giving out early-adopter discounts!

EDIT: I wrote some OSS to email you if a service (like a cronjob) does not check in[0]. Maybe I should add a status page component to it so you can see failed services at a glance, that seems like the right way to do status pages.

Companies like https://hetrixtools.com/pricing/uptime-monitor/ are slightly more expensive but still alot cheaper.

For our company, we had to create our own status monitoring app (open source). It's been a while and I had a short amount of time to find one.

A few reason for why we built our own:

- almost no SaaS allow companies to make advanced (JSON) checks to the data returned by a status endpoint. For example, we have cron jobs running data imports. To verify that these are still running, a /status endpoint on our app returns the last data import date based on the data imported in the DB. If this delay gets bigger than a threshold then we fire an alert.

- we're in B2B. Our clients need to have access to a status page with the ability to download the list of incidents (for SLA & contractual purposes)

- we need 2 levels of status pages. One for customers and one for our internal teams with access to more monitors

- SaaS providers either give the ability to automatically monitor or to manually manage the status page. There is no ability to do both at the same time

- I wanted something simple. And advanced monitoring systems can definitely do the above, but it's ops hell to setup and maintain. I have other things to do.

That was mostly coded over weekends, with no regards to code quality. Note that we still rely on an old version of the implementation to fire alerts, until this one is brought up to speed.

WebGazer is a website monitoring service checking your website on a regular basis. It notifies you with instant alerts in case of a problem. That way, you have a piece of mind about the status of your service without manually checking it.

You can publish the performance overview of the gazers through WebGazer Status Pages. Status page is simply a gateway to users. Successful companies are now going transparent and removing the wall between users with public announcement pages

Publish performance of your system to users for more transparency.

Update for any ongoing difficulties on the infrastructure (we know everyone has their servers on fire now and then)

Close the gap between your DevOps and audience.

Also, didn't see a list of data center locations and providers. Are you multi-provider (AWS, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean).

I have a nightly cron job running that dumps data to the database. On the homepage of the website it says how many new entries were created overnight. If that amount is zero, there's a 99% chance the cron job failed. It would be nice to be notified if the homepage says 0 entries were created overnight.

Download size is an interesting idea, note taken. Would you mind if I reached you for details on this?

Also, here is an example of what I mean by request stages timing: https://imgur.com/a/fKsVIc3

Is this a US company? I can not find any other info on the site. How would one go about figuring out if this is a legit company?

In the US, do you have a public online-registry where one can look up company details like address, revenue etc?

Edit: We are a Delaware company, I guess you can query on State's website.

For me, living in Europe, it feels kinda strange when I am supposed to enter my credit card details on a page that is kind of anonymous.

Over here, every site has to state the address, business id and other information. And you can look up company history in a central repository.

With Serverless Function and Serverless Database (Dynamo,Cloud Datastore etc..) setting up something like this would basically take a few minutes.

The biggest value rely lies in the UI and the UX and all the extra stuff that comes with it , like having pretty Analytics .

I run icinga for various clients on dedicated VMs for $5/mo each, with unlimited users, notifications and checks - and I still make a nice profit on that.
