Website & API uptime monitoring
Your vendor is up. Is your endpoint?
Your hosting provider can report operational while your own site returns an error. Check your public HTTPS websites and APIs on a schedule, record response codes and times, and route failure and recovery alerts to your team.

You define a healthy response.
A 200 response is only part of the picture. Set the response time that counts as degraded, the status code or range you expect, and the text or JSON your endpoint must return.
A slow response marks the check degraded. An unexpected status code, failed body check or timeout marks it as an outage. Choose which status changes alert each team, and keep the response history for investigation.

Your checks and your dependencies, together.
An endpoint error and a vendor incident are different signals. Keep both visible when you investigate, then send the relevant update to the team responsible.
A vendor incident does not establish the cause of an endpoint failure. Use your application logs and deeper monitoring to complete the investigation.
