How Pingscalate monitors your sites

Set up in minutes. No agents to install—just URLs, a schedule, and your alert channels.

  1. Step 1

    Add your URLs

    Paste websites, APIs, SSL certificates, or domain names to watch. Set check options and escalation policies.

  2. Step 2

    See status at a glance

    Your dashboard shows which monitors are up, down, or degraded—with uptime percentages and recent check history.

  3. Step 3

    Get Slack or email alerts

    When a check fails, your team hears about it via Slack or email. Escalation policies recheck failures and escalate when needed.

Alerts, status pages, and realistic checks

Everything you need to catch outages and expiring certificates early—without noisy false positives.

  • Slack alerts

    Downtime notifications land in the channels your team already watches.

  • Email alerts

    Add email recipients to escalation policies so the right people get notified.

  • Public status pages

    Share uptime with customers on a branded page with charts and monitor status.

  • SSL & domain expiry

    Get alerts before certificates or domain registrations expire.

  • Escalation policies

    Define who gets alerted, recheck intervals, and high-priority escalation.

  • GET and POST checks

    Monitor APIs, webhooks, and health endpoints—not just homepages.

  • Realistic requests

    Browser-like user agents and custom headers for strict WAF rules.

  • Scheduled checks

    5 minutes on the free plan. Pro and Max offer faster checks.

Built for strict filters—Cloudflare and similar—when you need realistic checks.

Built for SaaS teams, agencies, and API owners

Whether you run one product or dozens of client sites, Pingscalate keeps watch while you ship.

  • SaaS teams

    Watch production, staging, and billing endpoints. Share a public status page and get Slack or email alerts before support tickets pile up.

  • Agencies

    Monitor client sites from one dashboard. Status pages and alerts give your team a shared view of what is down.

  • API owners

    Health-check REST endpoints with POST requests, auth headers, and realistic user agents. Track SSL expiry too.

Monitoring that works behind Cloudflare and strict filters

Many uptime tools get blocked by WAF rules. Pingscalate is built for real-world checks.

Basic uptime checkers often fail against Cloudflare, bot protection, and API gateways—not because your site is down, but because the check looks like a bot. That means false alarms or missed outages.

Pingscalate lets you send browser-like user agents, custom headers, and POST payloads so checks behave like real traffic. Combine that with Slack and email alerts, public status pages, and escalation policies your team controls, and you get signal—not noise.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about uptime monitoring, Slack alerts, and the free plan.

What is Pingscalate?
Pingscalate is an uptime monitoring service that checks your websites and APIs on a schedule, shows a clear status dashboard, and sends Slack or email alerts when something fails.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 5 monitors with 5-minute check intervals, Slack and email alerts, a public status page, SSL/domain expiry monitoring, and escalation policies—no credit card required.
How do Slack uptime alerts work?
Connect your Slack workspace in settings. When a monitor fails, Pingscalate posts an alert to your chosen channel. Escalation policies let you control who gets notified and when.
Can I send alerts to email instead of Slack?
Yes. Add email recipients on your escalation policies. Alerts go to Slack, email, or both depending on how you configure each policy.
Can I share uptime with customers?
Yes. Create a public status page with a custom URL. It shows monitor status, uptime percentages, and charts—updated automatically as checks run.
Can I monitor APIs and endpoints behind Cloudflare?
Yes. Pingscalate supports GET and POST requests, browser-like user agents, and custom headers—useful when strict filters block basic uptime checkers.
How often are sites checked?
The free plan runs checks every 5 minutes. Pro and Max plans offer checks as fast as every 2 or 1 minute. SSL and domain monitors run on a daily schedule.
What happens when a site goes down?
Pingscalate marks the monitor as down in your status view, logs the failure, and sends Slack or email alerts based on your escalation policy. Failed checks are rechecked at your policy interval; persistent failures can escalate to high-priority alerts.
Do I need to install anything on my servers?
No. Pingscalate runs scheduled checks from the cloud. Add a URL, set your check options, and you are done.
Can I monitor SSL certificates and domain expiry?
Yes. Add SSL certificate or domain registration monitors to get alerts before they expire. Checks run on a daily schedule (or less often) and use the same Slack and email escalation policies as website monitors.
Can I monitor more than websites?
Yes. Monitor any HTTP endpoint—REST APIs, webhooks, health-check URLs, and staging environments—as long as they respond over HTTP or HTTPS.
