Live Dashboard
All your endpoints in one clean view. Response times, uptime history, and active incidents — no digging required.
How it works
No agents to install. No SDKs. No YAML files. Paste a URL and you're monitoring.
Paste any URL. Set your check interval. Done. No code changes needed.
Pinghawk checks your endpoint every 30s–5min from multiple regions worldwide.
When something breaks, you hear about it via email, Slack, or webhook — within 60 seconds.
A public, branded status page your users can bookmark. Fewer support emails guaranteed.
Why Pinghawk
Most monitoring tools were designed for ops teams with dedicated dashboards and weekly planning meetings. Pinghawk was designed for one developer, on a Friday night, who just wants to know if their thing is still running — and exactly why it stopped.
Paste a URL. Pick an interval. Done. No agents, no SDKs, no YAML. If it takes longer than a minute, we failed.
3 consecutive failures before we notify you. No 3am alerts for a server that restarted itself. Once you know, we go quiet until it's resolved.
$9/month for serious monitoring. Not $300. Not per-seat. Not "contact sales." A price you can justify before your product makes a cent.
Features
Every feature earns its place. Nothing is there for the marketing page — it's there because you'll actually use it.
Every monitoring tool tells you your API is down. Pinghawk goes further — automatically capturing the full forensic picture at the exact moment of failure, so by the time the alert reaches you, the evidence is already waiting.
Pinghawk tracks latency trends across all your endpoints continuously. When an API starts creeping toward timeout territory, you're flagged before your users notice anything wrong.
Verify from 3 global regions simultaneously. If two agree it's down, it's down. No false alarms from local network blips.
Warned 30, 14, and 7 days before expiry. Never get caught by a certificate error in production again.
Dead man's switch for your scheduled jobs. Know immediately when a backup, sync, or cleanup task silently fails to run.
Shareable, branded pages your customers can bookmark. They stay informed, you get fewer "is it down?" support messages.
We don't alert on the first blip. Pinghawk waits for 3 failures in a row before notifying you — cutting alert noise by ~80%.
Every check has a hard 10-second timeout. A hanging server can't freeze your monitoring. One broken endpoint never delays the rest.
On the roadmap
Check more than status codes. Define expected response shapes — if your API returns wrong data, Pinghawk alerts before your users hit the bug.
Add and manage monitors without leaving your terminal. pinghawk monitor add https://api.example.com — and you're done.
Test full user flows end-to-end — Login → Create Order → Pay → Confirm. If any step breaks, you know which one and why.
Alerting
Reach you wherever you actually are — Slack, Discord, email, webhook, or SMS. Every alert includes the endpoint, response time, region data, and a direct incident link so you can act without logging in first.
Pricing
No per-seat fees. No hidden limits. Priced for developers, not enterprise procurement committees.
