PushMon

Create your first PushMon URL now. All you need is an email address to send alerts to, and a schedule on how often we expect you to 'ping' us. Schedule 'every day' if you wish to try how the system works.

Users who sign up to PushMon gain access to our Free Plan’s basic features. Users are then able to upgrade to our paid plans for enhanced features. For more information, please visit our Plans & Pricing page.

To check if your PushMon URL is active, you can access your PushMon URL in the browser. It will display 'OK' if the PushMon URL is ready to be used. Note that monitoring will only start after your first access to the URL. To check if you are calling the URL correctly, you can visit your PushMon Dashboard. That will tell you the last ping time and if the URL is fine (color green).

We currently only support phone and SMS alerts in North America. We are currently working on expanding coverage. We will post any updates to this FAQ and our blog.

PushMon is not open source but can be purchased for installation in a corporate environment. Please contact us for details.

The maximum intervals between successive pings to a PushMon URL is currently limited to within 1 minute. If you ping a PushMon URL more than once within 1 minute, our servers will return an HTTP 403 response. To avoid this error, please ensure that you are pinging a PushMon URL no more than once within a one-minute interval.

Try accessing your PushMon URL in your browser. If everything is okay, it should return an OK message. If something is wrong, like the PushMon URL has been deleted or does not exist, you will see a human readable message in your browser. Note these messages can also be consumed by a program. Try appending '?type=js' or 'type=json' at the end of the URL. type=js is useful for including it in an HTML page. type=json returns JSON data than can be consumed by any programming or scripting language.
