Guides, tutorials, and product updates on uptime monitoring.
Save all your monitors to one CSV file, and add many monitors at once from a spreadsheet. Files from StatusCake, UptimeRobot, and HetrixTools work too. You see a preview before you import, get a clear result for every row, and can use two new MCP tools for AI agents.
Read article →Monitors pointed at hosts with a Минцифры (НУЦ) certificate no longer fail on trust. PingZen now recognises the Russian Trusted Root CA for its checks — scoped to the check itself, and gated to Russian domains by default.
Read article →Every check location now shows its IP address. Click it and it is on your clipboard, ready for your firewall or WAF allowlist. The addresses stay current — the server observes them as each checker connects.
Read article →The "Ping arrivals" journal in the heartbeat monitor card was failing with a 500 error — it works now. No data was lost — the full ping history was recorded all along and is available retroactively, including the message field from ping bodies.
Read article →You asked — we shipped: heartbeat check-in intervals up to 30 days right from the dashboard, grace periods up to 24 hours, and honest uptime stats for long-interval monitors.
Read article →A DOWN heartbeat now lights up the dashboard and sidebar like any other outage, you can click any heartbeat to see when its pings actually arrived, and a handful of rough edges in the create flow are gone.
Read article →PingZen's alert form is rebuilt — duplicate an alert to a second channel in one click, a shorter default form with collapsible Advanced settings, and triggers that only show the events a monitor can actually report.
Read article →Every monitor now has a Download report button — on the monitor page and in the monitors list. Pick a period and PDF or CSV, and you get uptime, MTTR/MTBF, latency percentiles, incidents, and error budget in one file.
Read article →Every public status page now has a Download SLA report button. Visitors get a 90-day PDF — overall uptime, per-service windows, daily history, incidents — without an account, and you don't configure anything.
Read article →Invite colleagues to a workspace with viewer or editor roles. They see your monitors and configure their own alerts — all within the owner's plan limits, no shared logins, no duplicate checks.
Read article →When a site sits behind a Cloudflare JavaScript/Turnstile challenge, PingZen now says so explicitly — and tells you exactly how to stop the false DOWN.
Read article →An expired domain or unpaid hosting bill replaces your site with a parking page that still returns HTTP 200 — so classic uptime monitoring stays green while visitors see a dead site. Here is how PingZen catches it.
Read article →An expired TLS certificate takes your whole site down and scares away every visitor. Here is how to monitor certificate expiry and get alerted days in advance.
Read article →Public monitoring services can't reach 10.x or 192.168.x addresses. Private probes let you watch internal databases, NAS boxes, and intranet apps from the same dashboard.
