Advanced Features

Power-user features for managing complex monitoring setups - maintenance windows, groups, escalation, widgets, and more.

Maintenance Windows

Navigate to Dashboard > Maintenance. Schedule planned maintenance periods so downtime checks are skipped - no false alerts during your deployment.

Creating a Maintenance Window

  1. 1Click "Create Maintenance Window" on the Maintenance page
  2. 2Set a name (e.g. "Weekly Deploy Window")
  3. 3Choose the schedule type: One-time or Recurring (daily/weekly)
  4. 4Set the start time, end time, and timezone
  5. 5Select which monitors are affected (exempt from checks during the window)
  6. 6Save - monitors will be paused automatically during the window

One-Time

For scheduled deployments, database migrations, or planned server reboots. Runs once at the specified date/time.

Recurring

For regular maintenance windows - e.g. every Sunday 2-4 AM. Repeats daily or weekly automatically.

Limits: Pro (20 windows), Business (100), Enterprise (200).

Monitor Groups

Navigate to Dashboard > Groups. Organize your monitors into logical groups for easier management.

Use Cases

  • Group by environment: Production, Staging, Development
  • Group by service: API Servers, Web Frontends, Databases, CDN
  • Group by client: Client A websites, Client B APIs
  • Group by region: US East, EU West, Asia Pacific

Group Options

  • Name - The group label (e.g. "Production Servers")
  • Color - A color tag for visual identification in the dashboard
  • Icon - Choose from Lucide icons for quick recognition
  • Description - Optional details about the group's purpose

Limits: Pro (20 groups), Business (100), Enterprise (200).

Escalation Policies

Navigate to Dashboard > Escalation. When a monitor goes down and isn't acknowledged, escalation policies automatically alert additional people on a defined schedule.

How Escalation Works

1
Step 1 - Immediate (0 min)

Alert the primary on-call person via Slack + Email. If not resolved within 5 minutes…

2
Step 2 - After 5 minutes

Escalate to the team lead via PagerDuty + WhatsApp. If still not resolved…

3
Step 3 - After 15 minutes

Alert the engineering manager + CTO via all channels. Repeat until resolved.

Each Escalation Step Configures

  • Delay - Minutes to wait before triggering this step
  • Notification Channels - Which channels to alert at this step
  • Additional Emails - Extra email addresses to CC
  • Repeat - How many times to repeat the alert and at what interval

Limits: Pro (5 policies), Business (10), Enterprise (20).

Dashboard Widgets

Navigate to Dashboard > Widgets. Build a custom dashboard with drag-and-drop widgets that show the metrics you care about most.

Uptime Summary

Overall uptime percentage across all monitors with a visual gauge

Latency Chart

Response time chart for a selected monitor with configurable time range

Incident Feed

Live feed of recent incidents with status and timestamp

Status Map

Visual grid showing the UP/DOWN status of all or selected monitors

Monitor List

Compact table of selected monitors with key metrics

SLA Score

Current SLA compliance percentage for a monitor or group

Limits: Pro (10 widgets), Business (100), Enterprise (200).

SSL Certificate Monitoring

SSL monitoring is automatic for every HTTPS monitor - no extra configuration needed. UptimeMonitorX checks the SSL certificate with every health check and tracks its status over time.

SSL Grading System

A

90+ days

B

30-89 days

C

7-29 days

D

< 7 days

F

Expired

  • Tracks issuer, valid from/to dates, and days to expiry
  • Sends expiry warnings at 14 days, 7 days, and 1 day before expiry
  • SSL health visible in the dashboard sidebar under "Domains"

Multi-Region Monitoring

Check your services from multiple geographic locations to ensure they're accessible worldwide, not just from the region where your server is located.

When creating or editing a monitor, select the regions you want to check from. Each region runs independent checks - if your site is down in one region but up in another, you'll know exactly where the problem is.
