Uptime Monitoring – Understanding the Layout

Uptime Monitoring provides real-time insights into your website’s availability and response times. This guide explains the different sections of the Uptime Monitoring interface, what each element represents, and how to interpret the data effectively.

Uptime Summary & Bar Chart

At the top of the Uptime Monitoring page, there is a bar chart displaying daily total test results.

Bar Chart Colours & Meaning:

  • 🟦 Blue (Passed Tests) – Represents the number of successful uptime tests.
  • 🟥 Red (Failed Tests) – Represents the number of failed uptime tests.

📌 This visualisation helps identify increases and decreases in uptime trends.

Response Time Graph

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.

Testing Regions & Locations (Run Regions)

On the right-hand side, there is a list of monitoring regions where uptime tests are being performed. This ensures that your website is monitored from different geographical locations.

Examples of monitoring regions:

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

For each region, the dashboard displays the total response time in milliseconds (ms). 📌 This helps in identifying regional performance variations and determining whether certain locations experience slower response times.

Latest Results Section

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

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

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

Uptime Test History Table

Below the Latest Results, a detailed Test History Table lists all uptime tests run over a selected period. The table can be filtered by passed and failed tests.

Table Icons:

✅ Green Circle with a White Tick – Successful Test ❌ Red Circle with a White X – Failed Test

Columns in the Table:

  • Date & Time – The timestamp of the test.
  • Response Time – The duration in milliseconds.
  • Status – 2XX, 3XX, 4XX, 5XX response codes.
  • Location – The region from which the test was run.

Filtering & Exporting Options

  • 🔍 Filter Tests – View either only passed tests or only failed tests.
  • 📆 Date Selector – Choose a custom date range to review test results.
  • 📂 Export Option – Download test data for analysis or reporting.

📌 These options allow for customised data analysis and performance tracking.

Additional Actions & Controls

At the top of the Uptime Monitoring page, there are several control options:

  • 🔔 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 for immediate results.

📌 These options allow users to customise their monitoring setup, ensuring they stay informed about website availability.

Summary

The Uptime Monitoring Dashboard provides a structured and clear view of your website’s uptime performance. Key elements include: A bar chart showing passed and failed tests. A response time graph tracking speed trends. A testing regions section displaying response times from different locations. Latest test results section showing the most recent uptime checks. A detailed test history table with filtering and export options. Actionable controls to set alerts, modify settings, and run one-off tests.

By using these tools, you can proactively monitor uptime, detect downtime quickly, and ensure your website remains accessible to users.
