What you get
Everything you need to monitor your stack
Nine monitor types, multi-channel alerts, status pages and reports — in one account, with no per-feature upsells.
Instant multi-channel alerts
Get notified by email, webhook and SMS the moment a monitor goes down — and again when it recovers. Set re-notify intervals so nothing slips through.
Response-time history & charts
Every check records latency and status. See trends over hours or weeks, and get alerted when a service turns slow — not only when it dies.
Public status pages
Share a branded status page with your customers. Post incidents and live updates, and show real uptime instead of answering “is it down?” emails.
SLA reports
Set an uptime target per monitor and get a clean monthly SLA report with the exact percentage — ready to print or export as PDF.
Certificate & keyword checks
Catch TLS certificates before they expire and verify a page still contains — or no longer contains — the text it should. JSON and expected-status assertions included.
Teams, roles & audit log
Invite your team into organisations with admin and viewer roles. Every change is recorded in an activity log you can review at any time.
API, webhooks & maintenance
Automate everything with API keys and a REST API. Trigger webhooks on state changes, schedule maintenance windows and build escalation policies.
Public status pages
Show real uptime, not promises
Give customers one branded page that answers “is it down?” before they ask. Group monitors by service, post incidents as they happen, and show live 24-hour and 30-day uptime for everything you run.
How it works
Live in minutes
01
Add what you run
Paste a URL, a host and port, or grab a heartbeat link for a cron job. Pick the check type and interval — WatchControl validates the target for you.
02
We watch it 24/7
WatchControl checks from the cloud on your schedule, records every result and confirms a failure before it alerts — so you get signal, not noise.
03
Get told first
Email, webhook and SMS alerts the moment status changes. Share a status page and pull SLA reports whenever you need the numbers.
Coverage
Monitoring for every part of your stack
Website monitoring
HTTP/HTTPS, keyword and response-time checks, as fast as every minute.
SSL monitoring
Get warned days before a TLS certificate expires.
DNS monitoring
Alerts when your A, MX or TXT records change or disappear.
Domain expiry
Warned weeks before a domain registration lapses — incl. .dk.
SMTP monitoring
A real mail-server handshake, not just an open port.
API monitoring
Status codes, JSON assertions, auth and response-time limits.
GDPR & EU hosting
A Danish company that keeps your data in the EU.
