PINGGUARD SOLUTIONS

External uptime checks for developer projects

A deployment succeeding does not guarantee the application remains reachable. PingGuard continuously checks public endpoints and gives developers a simple external availability signal.

Problems this catches

  • ●Deployments pass while runtime dependencies later fail.
  • ●Side projects stay offline because nobody is checking them.
  • ●Application logs do not show failures outside the infrastructure.

What PingGuard provides

  • ✓HTTP checks from outside the application
  • ✓Webhook alerts on Pro
  • ✓Pause and resume during maintenance
  • ✓SSRF protections for monitor targets

Who this is for

Developers operating side projects, APIs, portfolios, and production applications.

Monitoring checklist

  1. 1 Monitor the final public HTTPS URL.
  2. 2 Use a readiness endpoint that checks required dependencies.
  3. 3 Avoid health checks that mutate application data.
  4. 4 Pair external monitoring with logs and internal metrics.

Frequently asked questions

Is uptime monitoring the same as observability?

No. Uptime monitoring answers whether a public service responds. Logs, metrics, and traces explain internal behavior and root causes.

Can I monitor a localhost or private IP?

No. Private and internal addresses are blocked to protect the service from SSRF attacks.
