Monitoring checklist

  1. 1 Monitor a lightweight endpoint that exercises real dependencies.
  2. 2 Avoid endpoints that create data or trigger side effects.
  3. 3 Add separate monitors for critical regional or product APIs.
  4. 4 Use the status page during customer-facing incidents.

Frequently asked questions

What API endpoint should I monitor?

Use a safe GET endpoint that represents the dependencies customers need. A dedicated health endpoint is ideal when it verifies meaningful service readiness.

Can PingGuard monitor private APIs?

PingGuard is designed for publicly reachable HTTP and HTTPS endpoints and blocks private or internal network addresses for SSRF protection.
