Ping your server with basic monitoring! 

Here’s everything you can do on this page!

1) Add a ping monitor 

Either hit “[+] ADD A PING MONITOR” under “nothing to display” or use the “+ ADD MONITOR” button in the top right corner and follow the on screen prompts.

2) View, edit and pause all monitors

Hitting the “All Monitors” tab will give you a list of all passing, failing and paused HTTP monitors. This list can be sorted by creation date, label, response and status. Each monitor will have its own settings cog which, when expanded, gives the option to either pause, edit or delete a specific HTTP monitor.

3) View ping stats

RapidSpike gives a range of data from your ping monitor. The data on this page covers response times, status changes and uptime %’s. From here you’ll also be able to add a Response Time-out out and tweak the check frequency.

4) Change general server settings

Reached from the settings cog in the top right hand corner. General availability settings allow you to tweak the test regions used, the test frequency as well as giving you the option to pause/resume all current monitors.

5) Change the data history displayed

Whether you want to see data for the last week or the last year – Simply hit the Clock button in the top right and use the drop down to select your preferred data history. This button will display the current data period so you know what its set to currently!

6) View and create Alerts

Alerts are the core of the RapidSpike system, finding out what your issues are as soon as they happen is crucial so we’ve made it easier than ever to create, view and edit alerts.
