Solutions
Start with the MSP essentials: know when something is down, prevent SSL expiration surprises, and communicate clearly with client-ready status pages.
- • HTTP(s) monitoring

- • Certificate expiry overview
- • Friendly reminders
- • Catch problems before renewals are urgent
- • Simple public pages for monitored components
- • A single link to share with clients
- • Manual updates during active incidents
- • Tokenized backup ingest
- • JSON and email-based reporting
- • Failure and stale-backup visibility
Quick comparisons
Use these as a rule of thumb when deciding what to add next. Most teams start with uptime, then add SSL and status pages for fewer surprises and calmer communication.
- • Uptime answers: “Is the endpoint reachable?”
- • SSL warnings answer: “Is a preventable cert issue coming?”
- • Status pages answer: “Where can clients follow the incident?”
Start with uptime and SSL, then add status pages
Most teams start with uptime for fast outage detection, add SSL warnings to prevent avoidable incidents, and use status pages to communicate clearly during active issues.
Add backup ingest and alert channels when the workspace is ready for broader coverage.
A simple workflow for MSPs
Most MSP monitoring falls apart when the alerts become noise. Monitoring.app keeps the first setup intentionally simple so your team can respond faster and communicate better.
- • Monitor the endpoints you’re responsible for: sites, APIs, and health checks.
- • Get email, webhook, chat, or SMS alerts for downtime and SSL expiration warnings.
- • Share a status page link with clients to reduce tickets and back-and-forth.
- • Monitor-based uptime and SSL workflows.
- • Email alert channels with workspace limits.
- • Client-ready status pages with manual incident updates.
