For Developers

Monitoring that fits how developers actually work.
Not just ping checks.

TCP monitoring, heartbeats for cron jobs, webhook alerts you can pipe into anything, and keyword checks that catch broken deploys before users do.

Free forever for 10 monitors. No credit card required.

Webhooks

Pipe alerts into anything.

Every monitor state change fires a structured JSON payload to your endpoint. Wire it into PagerDuty, create Jira tickets, post to Discord, or build whatever automation your team needs.

  • Monitor ID, URL, type, status code
  • Confirmed check locations
  • Incident ID for correlation
  • Response time (when available)
webhook payload
// POST to your endpoint on every status change
{
"event": "monitor.down",
"monitor_id": "mon_abc123",
"url": "https://api.yourdomain.com",
"type": "http",
"status_code": 503,
"response_time_ms": null,
"confirmed_locations": ["us-east", "eu-west"],
"incident_id": "inc_xyz789",
"started_at": "2026-05-08T14:23:07Z"
}

Monitor more than just HTTP endpoints

Six monitor types so you can watch every part of your stack, not just the public-facing URLs.

TCP port monitoring

Monitor any service that speaks TCP — databases, Redis instances, mail servers, game servers. If the port becomes unreachable, you know within 60 seconds. No dashboard logins required.

Heartbeat monitoring for cron jobs

Have your cron jobs and scheduled tasks ping a Beaconmon heartbeat URL on completion. Miss a ping and you get alerted. Configurable grace periods for jobs that occasionally run long.

Webhook alerts to any endpoint

Send a structured JSON payload to any URL on monitor state changes. Wire it into your incident management system, create Jira tickets automatically, or post to whatever internal tool your team uses.

Keyword monitoring for deploys

A 200 response doesn't mean your app is working. Keyword monitoring verifies that specific content is present in the response body — catch broken deploys that serve an empty page or an error message with a 200 status.

Multi-location false alarm elimination

Beaconmon only fires an alert when two or more geographic regions confirm the failure. Single-location blips don't page you. When you get an alert, it's real.

SLO tracking with burn-rate alerts

Set per-monitor uptime targets. Beaconmon tracks your error budget in real time and fires burn-rate alerts before your SLO period is blown. Fast and slow burn thresholds are both configurable.

Status badge for READMEs

Embed a live status badge in any GitHub README, docs site, or internal wiki. One line of Markdown or HTML — the badge updates automatically as your monitors change state.

Stop finding out from users

The worst way to find out production is broken is a GitHub issue or a Slack message from a user. Beaconmon catches failures in under 60 seconds and tells you before anyone else.

  • Know when production breaks before users file a bug report.
  • Monitor every layer of your stack — HTTP APIs, TCP services, and scheduled jobs.
  • Build custom alerting pipelines using webhook payloads.
  • Suppress false alerts during planned deployments with deploy-aware monitoring.
