Product Benefits

Proactively Monitor Your Endpoints with API Tests

Alert on the global performance and availability of any endpoint with ping, ICMP, and TCP port tests.
  • Validate all layers of your systems (HTTP, SSL, TCP, IP, Monitor, and DNS) from several locations
  • Easily test actions that require verification; chain HTTP requests and execute API calls sequentially with Multistep API tests
  • Conduct root cause analyses faster with breakdowns of network timing
  • Receive alerts for only the issues that matter and eliminate false-positive with composite alerts
