How it works
From zero to watched in five minutes
Add a monitor
Paste a URL, pick an interval and which channels to wake up. Defaults are sane; tuning is one screen.
Pick your locations
Choose which of our monitoring locations check it — close to your users, spread across continents, or simply all of them.
Get told the moment it matters
Confirmed incidents open with cause and affected regions, alerts fan out, and recovery closes the loop automatically.

Everything you need, nothing to babysit
01 / Verify
No false alarms, ever
A failure is confirmed by repeated checks from independent locations before anyone gets woken up. One flaky route in one datacenter is not an incident.
02 / Worldwide
Checked from where your users are
Our monitoring locations span Europe, the Americas and Asia-Pacific. Pick which ones watch each site — nothing to install, ever.
03 / Alert
Alerts that reach you
Email, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, or a signed webhook into your own systems. Per-monitor routing, recovery notices included.
04 / Publish
Status pages clients trust
A clean public page per project with live state and 90 days of uptime history. Share the link, skip the “is it down?” emails.
05 / Maintain
Maintenance without noise
Flip a monitor into maintenance mode and deploy in peace. Checks keep recording, alerts stay quiet.
06 / Team
Built for teams
Invite teammates and clients with roles. Everyone sees the same truth: what is up, what is down, and since when.
The monitoring network
Eight vantage points. Pick yours per monitor.
Every monitor is checked from the locations you select — close to your customers or spread across continents. An incident only counts when enough locations agree, so one hiccup in one region never wakes you up.

The alert
Bad news, delivered well
Cause, affected regions, when it started — and a recovery message with the total downtime when it's over. Routed per monitor, so the right project pings the right channel.

Proof of uptime, public by design

Questions, answered
The fine print, minus the fine print
How is downtime verified?
Each location must see consecutive failures before it counts as down, and you choose how many locations must agree before an incident opens. A single timeout from a single region never pages anyone.
Where are the checks run from?
From our own monitoring locations across Europe, the Americas and Asia-Pacific. You choose per monitor which locations check it — or simply use all of them. Nothing to install on your side.
Do I need to change my site or install anything?
No. Vigil checks your site from the outside, exactly like a visitor's browser would. If you want firewall allow-listing, each location has a stable address.
Which alert channels are supported?
Email (SMTP), Slack, Discord and Microsoft Teams via incoming webhooks, plus a generic webhook signed with HMAC-SHA256 for anything custom.
Can clients see their own uptime?
Yes — publish a status page per project and share the link, or invite clients to the team with member access.
Is my data locked in?
No. Incidents stream out through signed webhooks as they happen, and every check result and uptime number is visible in the dashboard and on your status pages.
Your sites are being visited right now. Are they up?
Find out in the next five minutes — and every minute after that.
