HTTP Advanced monitoring lets you go beyond simple uptime checks. You can send custom HTTP requests, authenticate with APIs, check for specific content, and validate response codes.
Features
- HTTP Methods — HEAD (fastest, default), GET, POST, PUT, PATCH
- Authentication — Basic Auth, Bearer Token, or custom headers
- Custom Headers — Add any HTTP headers (one per line, format:
Name: value) - Request Body — Send JSON or form data with POST/PUT/PATCH requests
- Expected Status Codes — Comma-separated list of acceptable codes (default: 200)
- Redirect Following — Toggle whether to follow HTTP redirects
- Keyword Monitoring — Search for text in the response body. Alert if the keyword is absent (detect maintenance pages) or present (detect error messages)
You can add multiple HTTP checks per domain, each with its own URL, method, authentication, and check interval.
