Frequently Asked Questions
How does uptime monitoring work?
StatusOwl sends HTTP requests to your endpoints at regular intervals from multiple geographic regions. If a request fails or takes too long, we mark the service as down and alert you immediately.
What monitoring intervals are available?
Free: every 5 minutes. Pro ($9/mo): every 60 seconds. Business ($29/mo): every 30 seconds. All plans include multi-region monitoring for accurate results.
From which regions do you monitor?
We monitor from US East, US West, Europe (Frankfurt), and Asia (Tokyo). This ensures you catch regional outages, not just global ones.
What alerting channels are supported?
Free: email alerts. Pro: email + Slack + webhook. Business: all channels plus PagerDuty, Opsgenie, and SMS. Notifications are instant — typically under 30 seconds.
Can I monitor APIs behind authentication?
Yes. Configure custom headers (Bearer tokens, API keys) and request bodies for authenticated endpoint monitoring. Available on all plans.
How is this different from UptimeRobot?
StatusOwl combines uptime monitoring with beautiful public status pages and incident management in one tool. UptimeRobot is monitoring-only — you need separate tools for status pages and incidents.
