Know The Moment Anything Goes Down

Watch websites, servers, databases and the services your clients depend on with 36 types of checks, from the cloud or from inside the client's own network, then alert the right person, publish a live status page and keep a full history of every outage.

WHY UPTIME MONITORING

Hear About Outages Before Your Clients Do

A website that stopped responding at 2 a.m., an SSL certificate that expired over the weekend, a nightly backup that quietly failed for a week. Each one is cheap to fix when you know about it straight away, and expensive when a client finds it first.

ExaGuards Uptime Monitor checks everything you are responsible for on the schedule you choose, from every few seconds to once a month. When a check fails, notification triggers reach the right person by SMS, phone call, app notification, email or Teams, and when it recovers, you know that too.

Because it is part of ExaGuards, a monitor can run from any agent inside a client's network, so you can watch internal servers, databases and services without opening a single firewall port.

CLOUD AND AGENT CHECKS

Monitor From Outside And From Inside

Some things should be checked the way a customer sees them, from the internet. Others live inside the client's network and are never exposed. ExaGuards does both.

  • From the cloud: websites, SSL, DNS, mail, ports and heartbeats
  • From an agent: databases, Windows services, files, disks and internal APIs
  • Choose the agent that runs each check
  • No firewall changes or exposed ports for internal checks
36 CHECK TYPES

Every Kind Of Check You Need

Thirteen classic checks run from the cloud, and twenty-three more run from an agent inside the client's network.

DATABASE HEALTH

SQL Server Checks That DBAs Actually Want

Databases fail quietly. ExaGuards checks the things that cause real outages, through an agent on the client's network.

  • Last backup age and failed SQL Agent jobs
  • Blocking sessions and connection counts
  • Database state, log space and disk space
  • Your own SQL, MySQL and PostgreSQL queries with expected results

QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Something else on your mind? Ask us during a demo.

How many types of checks are there?

36: thirteen classic checks that run from the cloud, and twenty-three that run from an agent inside the network, including Windows services, files, PowerShell and SQL Server health.

Do I need to open firewall ports to monitor internal servers?

No. Internal checks run from an ExaGuards agent already inside the client's network.

How often can checks run?

You choose for each monitor, from every few seconds up to once a month.

How will I know when something is down?

Through notification triggers: SMS, phone call, app notification, email, Microsoft Teams, webhooks or an automatic support ticket.

Can clients see the status themselves?

Yes. Publish an auto-refreshing public status page for any client.

Can I monitor scheduled jobs and backups?

Yes. Heartbeat monitors alert you when a job stops checking in, and SQL checks report backup age and failed jobs.
