We once built monitoring for clients on Bitrix: agents, notification queue, client area. Then came the activehelp.ru case — a site plus backend for uptime, SSL and domains. The natural next step was our own studio product, not dependency on foreign SaaS billed in dollars.
Why build in-house
UptimeRobot, Pingly, Tracker.ru are solid tools. For our clients something else matters:
- Billing in USD and one contact for monitoring and site fixes
- Link to technical support — not only “site is down” email, but people who can fix it
- Data control — check history on our side, no card or geo surprises
We are not replacing enterprise observability. Our niche is business sites and small portfolios where the owner wants peace of mind.
What is live today
Core flow in production:
- HTTP checks — periodic polling, status code and response time
- Site verification — verify script on the client domain
- SSL and WHOIS — warnings before certificate and domain expiry
- Email alerts — only on status change (down / recovered)
- Dashboard at
/app— uptime charts, site list, script download
Under the hood: Laravel, Filament, dedicated auth guard, scheduler and queue.
Plans and support bonus
See the monitoring page: Starter (1 site, $7/month), Business (5 sites, $15/month), Custom (from 10 sites, from $35/month). Pricing is aligned with the mid-market — UptimeRobot, Pingdom, Pingly — with real developers behind the service.
Bonus: monitored sites also on technical support get 2 free hours of work per month — alert setup, small fixes, SSL help.
Roadmap
In progress:
- Lighthouse SEO snapshots
- Extended analytics — reports, period comparison
- Telegram alerts and public status pages
Availability monitoring is the foundation. SEO and analytics stack on top without changing platform.
