Monitoring and Alerting
Dashboards and alert rules covering uptime, error rates, server load, background jobs and certificate expiry, with every alert routed to a named person over a channel they actually check, not left in an inbox.
What Gets Watched
Monitoring is the system that notices when something is wrong and tells someone. It covers the application, the servers it runs on, and the jobs running in the background — not only the obvious question of whether the website is up.
What We Monitor
Uptime and Response Time
Whether the application is reachable and how quickly it responds, checked from outside your own network.
Error Rates and Exceptions
A rising rate of application errors, caught before customers report the problem themselves.
Server and Resource Usage
Memory, disk and processing load, watched before a server runs out of capacity rather than after.
Background Jobs and Queues
Scheduled tasks and queue workers checked for silent stops, since these rarely show up on a basic uptime check.
Certificate and Domain Expiry
Upcoming expiry dates flagged well before they lapse and take a site offline unexpectedly.
Making Alerts Worth Acting On
Thresholds Set to Your Traffic Pattern
Alert limits calibrated to how your application actually behaves, not generic defaults that fire constantly or never.
Alert Routing by Severity
A critical failure and a minor warning reach different people through different channels.
Named Owners for Each Alert
Every alert has a person responsible for it, so nothing is left assuming someone else will respond.
Reducing Noise So Alerts Get Read
Alerts are tuned to cut repeated or low-value notifications, because a channel full of noise gets muted within weeks.
Where This Stops and Incident Management Begins
Monitoring tells you something is wrong and who to tell. What your team actually does once that alert fires — who takes charge, how you communicate, how it gets reviewed afterwards — is covered separately under incident management.
Frequently asked questions
Do we need this if our application is small?
Even a small application benefits from basic uptime and error monitoring, since the cost of missing a stopped background job or an expired certificate is the same regardless of your size.
What drives the cost of a monitoring setup?
How many applications, servers and background processes need coverage, and how much custom dashboard or threshold work each one needs.
What drives how long a monitoring rollout takes?
How quickly access to your servers and applications is granted, and how much history is available to set realistic alert thresholds from.
Can this work with tools we already have in place?
Yes, we typically build on Prometheus and Grafana, Sentry for application errors, or a managed uptime monitoring service, extending what you already have rather than replacing it outright.
Who owns the dashboards and alert configuration?
You do. Dashboards and alert rules run under your own monitoring account, and the configuration is documented for your team to adjust.
What details do we need from you?
A list of your critical systems and journeys, and the names, roles and preferred channels of the people who should receive each type of alert.
How do you stop alerts from being ignored after a while?
By setting thresholds against real traffic data instead of guesses, and reviewing alert volume periodically to remove or retune anything that fires too often to be useful.
