Uptime monitoring for OCI resources
Uptime monitoring in Site24x7 ensures that your OCI resources are continuously monitored for availability and responsiveness. By tracking the uptime status, Site24x7 provides insights into service availability, detects outages, and helps prevent downtime, ensuring that your critical infrastructure remains operational.
Use case
Let's say you are monitoring a critical web application hosted on an OCI Compute Instance. By setting up uptime monitoring, Site24x7 checks the availability of the instance every minute. If the server becomes unreachable, Site24x7 immediately sends a notification to your DevOps team via Slack or other integrated third-party services, enabling them to respond swiftly to any outages and maintain high availability for your users.
