Availability checks
HTTP checks show whether the endpoint is up, degraded, or down.
Website and API availability
Uptime monitoring that explains what changed.
InfraBeacon watches public websites, APIs, and services for availability, response-time movement, certificate expiry, and domain renewal risk. Multi-location checks and account-backed reports make operational detail easy to review and hard to lose.
Overview
What this tool is for
Use uptime monitoring when a public endpoint matters enough that you need a persistent history, not a one-off check. InfraBeacon records availability checks, tracks latency trends, confirms failures to reduce noise, can invert status for endpoints that should stay unreachable, warns before SSL and domain deadlines, and routes alerts through the contact setup in your account.
Signals
What it monitors
Response-time history
Recent check data makes latency changes visible instead of anecdotal.
SSL expiry
Certificate dates are checked so renewal work can happen before user-facing warnings.
Domain expiry
Domain renewal deadlines are surfaced beside uptime data.
Fault confirmation
Optional confirmation attempts help avoid noisy alerts from a single failed check.
Status inversion
Flip a monitor so reachable becomes unhealthy for honeypots, denylisted endpoints, or closed maintenance URLs.
Contact groups
Customisable per-monitor contact groups, ensuring alerts get read.
Controls
What you can configure
Check cadence
Set the monitor interval to fit your needs, from as little as 60 seconds.
Location preference
Choose preferred check locations or use any available worker for broad coverage.
Fault tolerance
Fine-tune the monitoring system to your application with adjustable tolerances.
Inverted status
Alert when an endpoint becomes reachable instead of when it goes down.
Expiry handling
Refresh SSL and domain dates manually, then acknowledge daily reminders once renewal work is understood.
Alert management
Route alerts to contact groups, snooze active alerts, disable monitors, reset stats, or delete stale monitors.
Workflow
How it works
-
1
Add the endpoint
Enter a public website, API host, or service URL in the uptime monitor view.
-
2
Choose cadence and contacts
Set the interval, locations, confirmation preset, contact group, and alert behaviour.
-
3
Review the report
Use the account view to inspect availability, response time, renewal dates, and more.
-
4
Adjust as the service changes
Update contacts, snooze alerts, or change cadence when the endpoint changes importance.
Use Cases
Where it fits
Production websites
Watch the site customers actually use and keep availability history close to the team.
API endpoints
Monitor public APIs and service endpoints with the same uptime and response signals.
Expected-offline endpoints
Use status inversion for URLs that should remain unreachable and alert if they start responding.
Renewal oversight
Keep SSL and domain dates visible without maintaining a separate spreadsheet.
AI Tool Access
Ask supported AI tools about your reports.
InfraBeacon includes read-only MCP access, so supported AI tools can help summarise monitoring data, spot recent issues, and answer questions about uptime, server, and regression reports. MCP access cannot create, edit, pause, reset, or delete monitors.

FAQ
Questions about uptime monitoring
Can InfraBeacon monitor APIs as well as websites?
Yes. Uptime monitors are intended for public HTTP or HTTPS endpoints, including websites, APIs, and service URLs.
Can checks run from more than one location?
Yes. Uptime monitors can use preferred locations and confirmation settings so a single local failure does not have to trigger an alert immediately.
Does uptime monitoring include SSL expiry alerts?
Yes. SSL expiry dates are tracked for configured monitors so renewal risk appears beside availability data.
Does it track domain expiry?
Yes. Domain expiry data is checked for monitors where the domain can be resolved through the service, with refresh and acknowledgement controls in the account.
Can a monitor alert when a URL becomes reachable?
Yes. Enable status inversion in uptime monitor settings to treat reachable as unhealthy and unreachable as healthy.
Can I pause noisy alerts?
Yes. Alert snoozing, acknowledgement, disable, reset, and delete controls are available from the monitor settings.
Can AI tools read uptime reports?
Yes. Read-only MCP access lets supported AI tools view uptime status, incidents, response times, and renewal health without changing your monitors.
