was it up?

Frequently asked questions

How do you check that my site is up?

We perform a HTTP HEAD request and check that the status code is 200 OK. If you provided a text to match we perform a GET request, check that the status code is 200 OK, and check that the text is present/not present in the returned HTTP body.

How often do you poll my site?

We poll your site every 5 minutes.

How many sites can I monitor?

You can monitor 10 sites per account.

What identifies your monitor robot?

We use the following User-Agent HTTP header: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Wasitup monitoring; http://wasitup.com)

How do I simulate the request your monitor robot is sending?

The following curl invocation simulates a HTTP HEAD request: curl -I -A 'Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Wasitup monitoring; http://wasitup.com)' -H 'Accept-Charset: utf-8,ISO-8859-1;q=.5' http://$YOURURL while this call without the -I flag simulates a HTTP GET request: curl -A 'Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Wasitup monitoring; http://wasitup.com)' -H 'Accept-Charset: utf-8,ISO-8859-1;q=.5' http://$YOURURL
