An uptime monitoring alternative that also tells you why the check failed

Middle Monitor runs HTTP, ping, SQL, certificate and SNMP checks with incident alerting — in the same platform that holds the traces and logs explaining the failure.

Pingdom, UptimeRobot and Better Stack are simple, focused and quick to set up, often with more global probe locations than a general observability platform offers. If you only want external uptime checks, a specialist is a reasonable choice.

Checks beyond HTTP

HTTP and HTTPS with expected keyword matching and latency thresholds, ICMP ping with latency alerting, SQL connection checks, SSL certificate expiry warnings ahead of the deadline, and SNMP.

From alert to root cause in one place

When a check fails, the incident is correlated with host metrics and application errors from the same window, so the notification can name a likely cause instead of only reporting that something is down.

Alert smoothing

Status badges and alerts only change after N consecutive bad results, which keeps a single transient timeout from generating a page. Certificate expiry alerts fire immediately.

Notification channels

Slack, email, Jira Service Management, WhatsApp and SMS, or a JSON webhook to your own API. Channels are toggled from the interface.

Frequently asked questions

Does it alert before a TLS certificate expires?

Yes. Certificate checks alert when the certificate expires in fewer than a configurable number of days.

Where do checks run from?

Checks are executed periodically by the Middle Monitor backend workers, so no agent is required on the machine or endpoint being checked.
