What Is Server Uptime Monitoring?

Server uptime monitoring is the continuous process of checking whether your servers are online, responsive, and performing within acceptable parameters. Unlike manual server checks, automated server monitoring runs 24/7, sending requests to your servers at regular intervals and alerting you the moment something goes wrong.

Modern businesses rely on servers for everything - web applications, databases, email, file storage, APIs, and microservices. When a server goes down, the impact cascades across your entire operation.

UptimeMonitorX's server uptime monitoring eliminates the risk of undetected outages by providing real-time visibility into your entire server infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of servers can I monitor?

You can monitor any server accessible over the internet - web servers, application servers, database servers, mail servers, and more. UptimeMonitorX supports HTTP, HTTPS, TCP, and ICMP ping protocols.

How is server monitoring different from website monitoring?

Website monitoring checks HTTP/HTTPS URLs, while server monitoring can also check TCP ports and ICMP ping for basic reachability. Server monitoring gives you a broader view of infrastructure health.

Can I monitor internal/private servers?

UptimeMonitorX monitors servers reachable over the public internet. For internal servers behind firewalls, you would need to expose a health check endpoint.

Do you offer a free server monitoring plan?

Yes. The free plan includes up to 5 monitors with 5-minute check intervals and email alerts.
