One of my thought was if I had a "test fail" button (probably one-time) I would be so happy :) I mean when I turned all that notifications on, I'd like to know how I'll get the Twitter alert. PM? tweet? From what account and what it will contains? SMS. Is it even do the trick for Russia and what inside? (Yes, I got welcome SMS later). Even email would be great because then I can turn my gmail's filters by sender and subject.

Than I come up: why actually I should bother Monitority with that if I could just down my server for a moment and get all those stuff with actual data?

And know what? Maybe this is because I'm a lazy ass like all developers, but after couple of days I still have no clue how alerts looks like.

We are trying hard not to add complexity to the interface and too many features. When you enter a URL, Domain or IP it is confirmed that we are monitoring it for you. If you want to make sure you'll need to take down your server (although that's really not necessary)
