Better Uptime combines uptime monitoring, incident management, and a public status page into a single product that doesn’t look or feel like a NASA dashboard.

With Better Uptime, you can monitor your site, app, or store and alert the right person on your team when it goes down.

When there’s a problem with your site, Better Uptime doesn’t just tell you if your site is down — it tells you why.

To make debugging easy, Better Uptime sends a screenshot with any error messages and offers you a second-by-second timeline for every incident.

Better Uptime also integrates with over 100 apps, allowing you to connect all your infrastructure services. Sync with services like Heroku, Datadog, New Relic, Grafana, Prometheus, Zendesk, and many more. You can even raise alerts from these services, like when you’re running out of memory or disk space.

Better Uptime supports fast HTTP(s) checks (up to every 30 seconds) from 4 different regions (North America, South America, Europe, and Australia) and ping checks.

Plus, with “heartbeat monitoring” for your CRON scripts and background jobs, you’ll never lose a database backup again! When your site goes down, you’ll get alerts via detailed email reports, SMS, Slack, or Teams messages.

To minimize downtime, you can alert the right person on your team via phone call, so they can investigate the issue quickly. Better Uptime offers easy on-call duty scheduling for the devs and engineers that keep your site running.

Alert the right people at the right time by configuring your team’s on-call duty rotations directly in your favorite calendar app, like Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook.

The responsible person on your team can acknowledge the incident with a single click on their phone to let the rest of the team know that they’re taking care of it.

On-call colleague asleep? Wake up the entire team if you want, with smart incident escalations. Fixed the issue? Write a quick post-mortem to let your team know what went wrong and how you fixed it.

Not only will you be alerted that your site is down, but you’ll be able to notify your visitors of the status of your services as well.

Create a branded public status page to build confidence in your brand and keep your visitors in the know. And the best part? You can configure everything in just 3 minutes!
