Website Monitoring - Detect Problems Before Your Users Do

  • It's simple: problems with your web service have direct impact on whether your visitors/customers will stay or not. Detecting such issues quickly is vital for  keeping their impact low and your customer satisfaction high.
  • AlertFox Web Monitoring its just about that: we check your site 24/7 in regular intervals. You'll receive a mail or an SMS as soon as a problem is detected.

Monitoring Functionality - Not Just Technical Parameters

  • Classic web monitoring focusses on technical parameters such as:
    - Is the web server up and running?
    - Does the domain name resolve correctly via DNS?
    AlertFox supports classical tests. However, classic monitoring has its limitations.
  • Successful classic tests do not necessarily mean your site is working properly.
    Monitoring functionality is key:
    - Can users add items to their virtual shopping cart?
    - Does the user receive the right result when running a certain query?
    - Are images presented in the right location, and at the right time?
    - Does credit card payment work?
    AlertFox supports functionality tests (also called "Transaction Monitoring").
  • Classic web monitoring is simply blind to modern web deesign components such as: 
    up-to-date web design which includes
    - Complex AJAX scripting
    - Flash
    - Java
    - Silverlight
    AlertFox supports them all.

How Does AlertFox Provide This In-Depth Monitoring?

  • AlertFox interacts with your site just as your users do. It does not simulate web browsing, but runs real web browser instances (Internet Explorer and Firefox) on real operating systems.
  • This way, AlertFox is not restricted to the data that is passed between site and browser, but has access to how that data actually appears in the browser.

Fine-Tuned Notifications For Quick Response

  • You know best who is able to fix a certain feature of your web service most efficiently. Therefore, AlertFox allows you to  assign a specific mail or SMS contacts to each sensor. For example, if your credit card payment is broken then  way, e.g. your backend crew can be notified and respond. If a built-in search box returns nonsense, then your DB administrators may need to take action.
  • You know best about the vital parts of your web app. Let AlertFox monitor them closely (sending a message on every outage) while allowing other parts (e.g. third party scripts) to fail once in a while without an alarm being raised - until it fails too many times consecutively.

Monitoring Long Term Trends - Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Custom Reports

  • Quite often, you are not only interested in responding to emergencies, but in how stable your service is over time. Examples include detecting regressions  like certain updates that slow down your site or even break it; and for detecting load problems as the popularity of your site  grows.
  • For analyzing a specific time frame, use our custom reporting tool.
  • For continuous comparison, receive weekly or monthly reports by email,
