I wrote a custom monitoring service for our internal helpdesk system. It goes down a lot, and the team for managing that is real slow to even notice issues. One thing that I realized that it wasn't enough to just ping the server, as it would respond just fine, even though the website might not be loading properly, giving error messages etc... I had to write the monitor to actually log into the site, and check for key things to be displayed on the page to ensure it was actually up and usable.
- halayli 12y agoWebmon currently monitors your website from 4 locations and correlate the results to figure out status of your website. However, it doesn't look into JS errors generated because it doesn't actually render the content. But we are working on a new RUM service which will also include reporting page load errors that the users are seeing. but this is also not fool proof as prior JS errors in the page could have halted the execution of our script.
