UptimeHunt Documentation
Continuous availability monitoring for websites, APIs, and network services — from a distributed global probe network.
UptimeHunt
UptimeHunt monitors your websites, APIs, and network services from a distributed network of global probe locations. It checks each service on a schedule, records every result, fires alerts when something goes wrong, and keeps a history of incidents and performance data.

How UptimeHunt works
- Configure a service — give it a URL or host, pick a check type (HTTP or ping), and set an interval.
- Probes run checks — distributed probe agents execute the check from multiple geographic locations on schedule.
- Results are recorded — every check result (status, response time, probe location) is stored and shown in the dashboard.
- Alerts fire on incidents — when the alert engine detects a pattern that crosses a threshold, it opens an incident and delivers notifications through your configured integrations.
- You investigate and resolve — the service details page shows check history, performance graphs, and probe-level breakdown to help you diagnose issues.
Supported check types
| Type | Monitors | Key metrics |
|---|---|---|
| HTTP/HTTPS | Websites, APIs, web endpoints | Status code, response time, SSL, response body |
| ICMP Ping | Servers, network devices | Reachability, round-trip time, packet loss |
