The Web Monitoring Playbook
The 12 monitors every site should have, and how to alert on them without crying wolf.
A vendor-neutral checklist from the team behind Ensju · ensju.com
What's inside
- The 4 monitors that protect what customers see: homepage, login, your health endpoint, and the money path
- Why a 200 status code can still mean your page is broken (and the one-line fix)
- SSL, DNS, and domain-registration checks: the avoidable outages that always hit at the worst time
- A dead-man's switch for the cron jobs and backups that fail silently
- Server thresholds worth paging on: disk, memory, and load
- Alerting rules that kill noise, so the pager only fires when it should
- The three numbers that actually tell you if you're healthy
Whether you run a home lab, manage a stack of clients as an MSP, or keep a startup alive single-handed, this is the checklist we wish every team had pinned to the wall before something broke.
