Start with the MSP essentials: know when something is down, prevent SSL expiration surprises, and communicate clearly with client-ready status pages.

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 first
Start with outage detection, then add client 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?”
SSL monitoring vs Uptime
Prevent certificate surprises
  • • Uptime tells you when an endpoint is down right now.
  • • SSL monitoring warns you before expiry, so you can renew on your schedule.
  • • SSL issues can break otherwise-healthy sites, APIs, and integrations — especially for clients.

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.

First
Uptime monitoring
Know when something is down.
Next
SSL monitoring
Prevent avoidable certificate incidents.
Then
Status pages
Share one link during incidents.

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.
What ships now
  • • Monitor-based uptime and SSL workflows.
  • • Email alert channels with workspace limits.
  • • Client-ready status pages with manual incident updates.
