Understanding the Uptime Monitoring Dashboard & Test Results

Introduction

Uptime Monitoring provides real-time insights into your website’s availability and response times.

This guide explains the different sections of the Uptime Monitoring Dashboard, what each element represents, and how to interpret the data effectively.

Response Time Graph

At the top of the dashboard, the Response Time Graph provides a breakdown of response times over different periods:

  • Last 2 hours
  • 1 day
  • 1 week
  • 1 month

This allows you to track fluctuations in website response times and identify potential slowdowns over time.

Below the Uptime Summary, the Response Time Graph provides a breakdown of response times over different time periods:

  • Last 2 hours
  • 1 day
  • 1 week
  • 1 month

📌 This allows you to track fluctuations in website response times and spot potential slowdowns over time.

Uptime Summary & Bar Chart

Below the Response Time Chart, a bar chart displays daily total test results.

Bar Chart Colors & Meaning

  • 🔵 Blue (Passed Tests): Number of successful uptime tests.
  • 🔴 Red (Failed Tests): Number of failed uptime tests.

This visualization helps identify uptime trends, highlighting increases and decreases over time.

Testing Regions & Locations

On the right-hand side, the dashboard lists monitoring regions where uptime tests are performed.

This ensures that your website is monitored from different geographical locations, helping you spot regional performance variations.

Examples of Monitoring Regions:

  • Ohio, USA
  • London, UK
  • Frankfurt, Germany

For each region, the dashboard displays the total response time in milliseconds (ms), allowing you to determine whether certain locations experience slower response times.

Latest Results

This section provides details of the most recent uptime test results, including:

  • Response Time: The time taken for the website to respond.
  • Location: The region where the test was conducted.
  • P Address: The server IP tested.
  • Status Code: 2XX, 3XX, 4XX, 5XX
  • Date & Time: The timestamp of the test.

This section is particularly useful for diagnosing immediate uptime issues and verifying recent outages.

This section provides in-depth information about that specific test, allowing you to analyze performance and diagnose potential issues.

Information Available in Uptime Check Details:

  • Date & Time of the Test – The exact timestamp of the test.
  • Location – Where the test was performed from.
  • Response Time – How long it took for the request to complete.
  • HTTP Status – Status code received (e.g., 200 OK).
  • Host IP – The IP address of the monitored host.
  • DNS Resolve Time – Time taken to resolve the domain name.
  • Response Message – Typically "OK" for a successful test.

Additional Controls

At the top of the Uptime Monitoring Dashboard, several controls are available:

  • ⚠️ Set Alerts – Configure notifications to be alerted when downtime occurs.
  • ⚙️ Modify Test Settings – Adjust test frequency, monitoring regions, and alert preferences.
  • 🔁 Run a One-Off Test – Manually trigger an uptime check.

These options allow users to customize their monitoring setup and stay informed about their website’s availability.
