Uplance · Monitor types

Every monitor type

Each of these speaks the protocol it names, rather than pinging a port and hoping. Pick the one you run and the page says what the check actually looks at.

• Minecraft

  Monitor your Minecraft server

  Uplance speaks the server list ping protocol, so it sees your server the way a player's client does — not the way a web request does.

• Discord bot

  Monitor whether your Discord bot is online

  Uplance checks presence the way Discord itself reports it, through a real gateway connection — not by asking your host whether the process is alive.

• Heartbeat

  Monitor cron jobs and background work

  Some things only fail by not happening. A heartbeat monitor watches for silence, which is the one failure an ordinary check can never see.

• Certificate

  Monitor SSL certificate expiry

  Every HTTP monitor tracks its certificate automatically. There is nothing to configure and nothing to remember.

• Database

  Monitor Postgres, MySQL and Redis

  A database monitor opens a real connection and runs a real query. An open port proves almost nothing.

• FiveM

  Monitor your FiveM server

  Uplance asks your FiveM server the same question the server browser asks it, over its own dynamic.json endpoint on port 30120.

• Source / Steam

  Monitor your Rust, ARK or CS2 server

  Uplance sends a real A2S_INFO query — the same one the Steam server browser sends — and answers the challenge the way a game client does.

• Redis

  Monitor whether Redis is really answering

  Uplance connects to Redis the way your application does, authenticates, and runs a command. An open port proves almost nothing.

• MySQL

  Monitor whether MySQL accepts connections

  Uplance opens a real connection to MySQL or MariaDB, authenticates, and runs a real query — the same three things your application has to do.

• Domain expiry

  Never lose a domain to an expiry date

  Every domain you monitor is checked against the registry's own record once a day, and you are warned 30, 7 and 1 days before it expires.

• DNS

  Know when a DNS record changes

  Uplance resolves the record you name and compares the answer to the value you expect. A record that resolves to the wrong thing is not a healthy record.

• JSON

  Monitor an API by what it returns

  Uplance reads the JSON your API returns and checks the fields inside it. A 200 with the wrong body is still a broken API.

• Browser

  Monitor the flow, not just the page

  A real Chromium browser loads your site, clicks through the steps you gave it, and fails on the step that broke — with the step named.

• Blocklist

  Know the day your mail server gets listed

  Uplance asks the five blocklists that actually decide whether your mail is delivered, and tells you the day your IP appears on one.

• Keyword

  Monitor what the page actually says

  Uplance reads the response body and checks whether the text you named is there — or whether text that should never appear has shown up.
