Uptime Monitoring

Uptime monitoring automatically checks your services and records whether they’re up. The results appear as a 90-day uptime bar on the public status page. If monitoring detects an outage, it can open an incident automatically and alert you by email.

How it works

When you configure a monitor URL on a component, Convot sends a GET request to that URL at the interval you’ve set. If the server responds with a 2xx status code, the check is recorded as up. Any other response (timeout, 4xx, 5xx, no response) is recorded as down.

A continuous stretch of down checks triggers an automatic incident on your public page (flagged as auto-generated). When the URL starts responding again, the incident is automatically resolved.

Configuring monitoring

To enable monitoring on a component:

1. Go to Settings → Apps → [your app] → Status.
2. Click the component row to expand it.
3. Enter the Monitor URL - a publicly reachable HTTPS endpoint. Use a dedicated health-check route rather than your homepage if possible (e.g. https://api.yourapp.com/health).
4. Toggle on Auto-check.
5. Save.

Check interval

The default check interval is 5 minutes. You can change it at the top of the Components section using the Auto-check every dropdown. Available options: 2, 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes.

The minimum is 2 minutes. More frequent checks give you faster incident detection but won’t improve the accuracy of the 90-day uptime percentage shown to users (that aggregates by day).

Reading the uptime bar

Each component with monitoring enabled shows a 90-day uptime bar on the public page. Each column represents one calendar day. Colors:

• Green - 99.9%+ uptime that day.
• Amber - 95% to 99.8% uptime.
• Red - below 95%.
• Gray - no data (the component wasn’t being monitored that day, or it’s a future day).

Hovering over a bar segment shows the exact date and uptime percentage for that day.

The overall uptime percentage shown next to the bar is calculated from all recorded checks in the last 90 days.

Email alerts for auto-detected incidents

When monitoring opens or resolves an incident automatically, Convot can send email notifications to your team. To set this up:

1. In the Status admin page, go to Incident alerts.
2. Toggle on Email on auto-detected incidents.
3. Enter one or more email addresses in the Recipients field, comma-separated.
4. Save.
