Pingstack documentation
Pingstack monitors websites, scheduled jobs, DNS records, TCP services, domain expiration and SSL certificate expiration. Organize checks into dashboards, send incident alerts to the right people, and share health with your customers.
Get your first signal
Section titled “Get your first signal”Start with a website check for a public service, or a heartbeat check for a job that reports its own completion. Then connect alerts so a change in health reaches someone who can act.
Not sure which to use? Compare check types.
Operate your workspace
Section titled “Operate your workspace”- Understand statuses and thresholds.
- Read history, latency and uptime.
- Route alerts and schedule recipients.
- Organize dashboards and publish a status page.
