🟢 Uptime Monitor
Multi-protocol uptime monitoring with intelligent false-positive prevention for your WordPress sites. Monitor HTTP/HTTPS endpoints, TCP ports, and DNS records. Get instant alerts via email, Slack, or SMS when your site goes down — and when it comes back up.
What This Solves
WordPress sites go down for countless reasons — hosting issues, plugin conflicts, SSL certificate expiry, DNS changes, or DDoS attacks. Most site owners don’t find out until a customer reports it. Uptime Monitor checks your site continuously and alerts you within minutes of downtime, so you can respond before revenue is lost.
Who This Module Is For
Business Owners Who Can’t Afford Downtime
E-commerce stores, SaaS platforms, and lead generation sites need to be online 24/7. Know within minutes when your site goes down, not hours later from angry customer emails.
Agencies Managing Client Sites
Monitor all client sites from one dashboard. Get notified of incidents before your clients do. Demonstrate uptime SLA compliance with historical data and reports.
DevOps & System Administrators
Monitor not just HTTP — check TCP ports (SSH, MySQL, Redis), DNS resolution, and custom keywords in responses. Perfect for verifying your full infrastructure stack.
Key Features
HTTP/HTTPS Monitoring
Full HTTP checks with status code validation, keyword verification, SSL certificate checks, and response time tracking. Detects both hard downtime and degraded performance.
TCP Port Monitoring
Monitor any TCP port — SSH (22), MySQL (3306), Redis (6379), SMTP (25/587), or custom services. Verifies the port is accepting connections.
DNS & Ping Checks
Verify DNS A record resolution and domain reachability. Catches DNS propagation issues and hijack attempts before they cause visible downtime.
Smart False-Positive Prevention
Incidents are only triggered after 2 consecutive failures. Prevents alert noise from transient network glitches or brief server hiccups.
Response Time Graphs
Track response times over days, weeks, and months. Spot performance degradation trends before they become outages. Daily aggregated stats with min/avg/max.
SMS Notifications (BYOP)
Bring Your Own Provider — connect Twilio, Vonage, or any custom webhook for SMS alerts. Get notified on your phone even when you’re away from email.
How It Works
Uptime Monitor runs checks from the VistoShield cloud infrastructure, not from your WordPress server. This means your monitoring continues even if your server is completely unreachable.
Check Types
- HTTP/HTTPS — Full request with status code, keyword, and response time validation
- TCP — Port connectivity check using socket connections
- DNS — A record resolution verification
- Ping — DNS-based reachability check
Incident Management
- Automatic detection — 2 consecutive failures trigger an incident
- Multi-channel alerts — Email, Slack, webhook, and SMS notifications
- Auto-recovery — Incident resolved automatically when check passes again
- Timeline view — Full incident history with duration and root cause
Check Intervals
