Uptime Monitoring

HTTP checks

ErrTap polls a URL at a configurable interval and expects a 2xx response. On failure it opens an Incident and fires your alert channels.

Create a monitor in the dashboard: Uptime → New monitor, then supply:

• URL — the endpoint to check
• Interval — how often to poll (minimum 1 minute)
• Method — GET (default) or HEAD
• Expected status — defaults to any 2xx

Check intervals

A check counts as a failure after the configured number of consecutive misses (default: 2).

SSL expiry

Every HTTPS monitor also tracks the certificate expiry date. Alerts fire at configurable lead times before expiry (default: 30 days, then 7 days).

Incidents

When a check fails, ErrTap opens an Incident tied to the monitor. An incident records:

• Start time of the outage
• Each failed check during the outage
• Recovery time (when a check returns 2xx)
• Total duration

Incidents drive alerting — they fire on open, and optionally on recovery.

Alert configuration

Wire uptime failures to your notification channels under Alerts → Alert rules. Uptime rules fire on:

• DOWNTIME — a check has failed
• RECOVERY — the check is healthy again after an incident
• SSL_EXPIRY — certificate expiry is approaching
