We’re excited to introduce Sentry's Uptime Monitoring, a powerful tool to help you effortlessly track the availability and reliability of your web services. Once configured, it continuously monitors your configured URLs, providing instant alerts and detailed insights to help you identify and resolve downtime promptly.

Proactive Monitoring of Your Web Services

Sentry’s Uptime Monitoring performs health checks on configured URLs every minute. If an issue is detected, you'll be notified immediately, such as when:

• The URL returns a status code other than 200 (success).
• The response takes longer than 10 seconds (timeout).
• A DNS resolution error occurs.

By leveraging distributed tracing, Sentry enables you to pinpoint any errors that occur during an uptime check, streamlining triage and speeding up root cause identification. Learn more how uptime monitoring works.

Getting Started with Uptime Monitoring During Open Beta

Out of the box, Sentry automatically sets up Uptime Monitoring for the most frequently encountered hostname in your error data, ensuring continuous monitoring of your most critical services.

You can also create custom uptime monitoring alerts for specific URLs, with full control over request details like HTTP method, headers, and body parameters. Uptime Monitoring is free during the open beta, with pricing to be announced at a later date.
