Fictional sequence. Animation timing is not check cadence or a performance promise.

01

Start with a public health endpoint

Point an HTTP monitor at a publicly reachable endpoint such as /api/health. Track the expected response status without building a separate monitoring dashboard for every service.

02

See latency alongside availability

A successful response and a fast response are different observations. Compare response times over your selected period and review incidents around a deployment or dependency failure.

03

Know the scope of the check

This is public HTTP endpoint monitoring. It is not an authenticated API test suite, request-script runner, or a promise of POST, PUT or GraphQL testing. Keep private endpoints and credentials out of monitor URLs.

In practice

Where this signal earns its place.

  • Public health checks for a web service.
  • Read-only public endpoints used by your website.
  • Response-time comparisons before and after a release.

A closer look

Can I monitor a private API?

These monitors are intended for publicly reachable HTTP endpoints. Do not add internal network targets or credentials to URLs.

What happens when an endpoint recovers?

Recovery is recorded in the incident history and can trigger a recovery email when notifications are enabled.
