Uptime Monitoring

What are check locations and which should I use?

InfraBeacon checks your website from several places around the world. This helps give a clearer view of availability.

Available locations

  • Amsterdam, Netherlands
  • Chicago, USA
  • Frankfurt, Germany
  • London, UK
  • Los Angeles, USA
  • San Jose, USA

Choosing a location

Any location (recommended) - Let InfraBeacon choose the best available location for each check. This gives good coverage and backup if one location has a problem.

Specific location - Choose one location if you want checks from the same region each time. This is useful when your audience or server is mainly in one place.

Why multiple locations matter

Checking from multiple locations helps:

  • Detect outages that only affect some areas
  • Reduce false positives from temporary network issues
  • Give a clearer view of global availability
  • Verify CDN and geographic load balancing
