How it works

GhostlyX sends an HTTP GET request to your site every 60 seconds. If consecutive checks return a non-successful status code, an incident is opened and you are notified. Status codes:
  • 200-399: site is considered up
  • 400 and above, connection errors, timeouts: site is considered down

​
Enabling uptime monitoring

  1. Go to Settings for your site.
  2. Toggle Uptime monitoring on.
  3. Optionally change the Monitor URL. By default it checks your site’s root (/). Change this to a specific path if you want to monitor a particular endpoint.
  4. Save settings.
Monitoring begins within 60 seconds of enabling.

Public status page

Each site monitored by GhostlyX gets a public status page at:
