The ErrorDetector column is the product as shipped today: every number comes from the same constants the app enforces. A Pingdom cell appears only with a source and the date we checked it; we do not restate Pingdom's plans from memory. Their plans change — the link in each unverified cell goes to their current page.
No. ErrorDetector is synthetic monitoring: scheduled checks from one EU origin, SSL and domain expiry, keyword and API checks, heartbeats and blacklist checks. There is no browser script on your visitors' pages and no cookies of ours.
Export the list of URLs and use bulk import; each becomes an HTTP monitor on your plan interval. Transaction (multi-step browser) checks have no equivalent here.
100% EU-hosted infrastructure. No transatlantic data transfers, no surprises for your B2B clients' compliance teams.
Privacy isn't an afterthought. ErrorDetector is built to meet European data protection expectations out of the box.
Native Telegram, email, Slack & webhook alerts — so you know the moment a client site goes down.
Set up your first EU-based monitor in under a minute. No credit card, no sales call.
