Watchtower watches your websites, servers, DNS, and network as often as once a minute. The instant a check fails, your team gets the alert - and Watchtower can move your DNS to a healthy server on its own, so visitors keep getting through. This is the monitoring Argus runs on.
Every site, server, and IP you watch in a single live list - up, down, warning, or paused, with response time and uptime next to each one. The board updates itself as states change, so it is always current without a refresh.
The moment a check fails, the alert goes to Slack, your phone, or email - wherever your team already is. Quiet hours and per-team routing mean the right people get it at the right time.
Switch on failover and Watchtower moves your DNS to a healthy server the instant the main one drops - Cloudflare, Route 53, Google Cloud DNS, and more - then switches back when it recovers. Nobody has to wake up.
A check that fails is retried first - three times by default - before Watchtower calls it down. A one-second blip never turns into a page.
Uptime over the last 24 hours, 7, 30, or 90 days, plus a timestamped incident log for every monitor. Real numbers to hand a customer, a boss, or an auditor.
An SSL certificate about to expire, a domain about to lapse, your mail server on a spam blacklist, a DNS record changed underneath you, your routes hijacked. The problems you would never spot until they cost you.
Checks your pages load and how long they take, watches the SSL certificate, and can match a keyword to confirm the right page came back. Works fine behind Cloudflare and other CDNs.
Confirms your DNS records resolve to the value you expect, and flags it the moment a record changes underneath you.
Checks any port on any host is open and responding - your database, mail server, API, anything that is meant to be listening.
Plain ping: is it reachable, and what is the latency and packet loss. Pairs well with the port check for the full picture.
Watches the major blacklists and tells you the moment your IP or domain is listed - before your email quietly starts bouncing.
Checks your network is announced from the right place and alerts on hijacks and route leaks. For teams that run their own IP space. Runs hourly.
The check is retried a few times first, so one bad result never sets anything off.
Alerts fire to the channels and contact groups you chose, honoring quiet hours.
If you enabled it, traffic moves to your standby server automatically through your DNS provider.
When the server recovers, DNS switches home and the incident resolves on its own - all logged.
When a server drops, Watchtower moves your records to a healthy target through your own DNS provider, then moves them back the moment it recovers.
Plus hooks into Splunk, Zendesk, and billing systems like WHMCS, so an outage can open a ticket or reach the systems you already run.
Watchtower ships with the rest of Suriq. Add your first check in under a minute and watch it land on the board.
