Creating a Monitor

siteRabbit supports 13 monitor types to cover every layer of your stack.

Monitor types

| Type | What it checks | |------|----------------| | HTTP / HTTPS | Response status, body keyword, response time | | SSL Certificate | Certificate validity, days until expiry | | Domain Expiry | Domain registration expiry date | | DNS | A/AAAA/CNAME/MX/TXT record values | | TCP Port | Whether a TCP port is open and accepting connections | | ICMP Ping | Network reachability via ICMP | | Heartbeat / Cron | Scheduled jobs that must check in on time | | Sitemap | All URLs in your XML sitemap return 200 | | Broken Links | Every link on a page resolves without 4xx/5xx | | Page Speed (Lighthouse) | Core Web Vitals and Lighthouse performance score | | App Health | JSON health endpoint matches expected values | | UDP Port | UDP port reachability | | gRPC | gRPC service health via the standard Health protocol |

HTTP monitor options

  • URL — the endpoint to check
  • Method — GET, POST, HEAD, etc.
  • Expected status — defaults to 2xx; can be exact (e.g. 201)
  • Keyword — the response body must (or must not) contain this string
  • Headers — custom request headers (e.g. Authorization)
  • Request body — for POST/PUT checks
  • Follow redirects — on by default
  • Timeout — default 30 s

Check intervals

| Interval | Available on | |----------|-------------| | 30 s | Business, Pro, Enterprise | | 1 min | All plans | | 5 min | All plans | | 10 min | All plans | | 30 min | All plans | | 1 h | All plans |

Regions

Checks run from all active regions simultaneously. A monitor is marked down only when all regions agree it is unreachable (configurable via the consensus threshold).

Maintenance windows

You can silence alerts during planned maintenance. Go to the monitor → Maintenance → Add window. Windows repeat on a schedule (e.g. every Sunday 02:00–04:00 UTC) or run once.

Editing and deleting

  • Edit — all fields except the monitor type can be changed after creation.
  • Pause — temporarily disables checks without losing history.
  • Delete — permanently removes the monitor and all its history.
