Fiber Cut Downtime

PushMon was down from 2019-06-10 17:51:00 UTC to 2019-06-11 04:38:00 UTC. Our hosting facility had an area fiber cut which caused the 6+ hour downtime. Services are back to normal now. We are very sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience.

Make sure your whole system is running smoothly.

Processes that run regularly in the background are often unmonitored or send emails regardless of success or failure. This makes it hard for you to notice when things go wrong. Make sure your servers are up, even if they are not accessible from the internet. Make sure your cron jobs or scheduled tasks run on time. Make sure your backup scripts are running as expected. Make sure your hourly scripts are running continuously. Get notified when they don't.

Making sure that the different parts of your system is running fine is easy to do. Just create a PushMon URL and call that URL on the schedule you specify. If we don't hear from you, you will hear from us. We have sample code to get you started quickly.
