Monitoring
Monitoring that tells you what actually happened.
Zenith checks your site on a schedule and keeps a clear timeline of every incident, so you get downtime and recovery alerts without the noise.
What monitoring means, and what it doesn’t.
What it is
Synthetic HTTP checks from Zenith’s infrastructure: we request your site on a schedule and record the response and timing. A reliable, external view of whether your site is up and responding.
What it isn’t
It isn’t network-level monitoring, application performance monitoring, or real-user monitoring. It won’t catch a problem that only affects logged-in users or specific regions.
One blip isn’t an incident.
A single failed check won’t alert you. A confirmed incident needs two consecutive failed checks. Recovery is recorded on the first successful check afterwards.
- Check 1Failed checkRecorded, but no alert. It could be a momentary blip.
- Check 2Incident confirmedA second failure in a row opens the incident and sends one email.
- While downUnder observationChecks continue on your plan’s interval. No repeat alerts.
- First successRecoveredThe incident closes and one recovery email goes out.

Your detection window depends on your plan’s check interval and the two-check confirmation.
Tell the people who depend on your site.
Get an email when an incident is confirmed and again when your site recovers. On plans that include status pages, share a public page so the people who depend on your site can see its current state and history.
Monitoring is one reliability signal alongside four audit signals (Security, Accessibility, SEO, Performance). See how it all fits together.
Know before your visitors do.
Monitoring is included on every plan, including Free.
