API monitoring features built for engineering teams

Upwatch gives your team everything needed to monitor, diagnose, and resolve API issues — from real-time health checks to statistical anomaly detection. Every feature is designed to reduce mean time to detection and keep your integrations running reliably.

All features work out of the box with zero configuration. Add your endpoint URL, choose a check interval, and Upwatch handles the rest.

Real-time API Monitoring

Automated health checks at intervals from 30 seconds to 30 minutes. Each check measures status code, response time, and response body.

No agents to install, no SDKs — just add your endpoint URL and start monitoring. When something breaks, Upwatch flags it and begins incident tracking automatically.

Health Scoring

Every endpoint gets a 0-100 health score combining uptime, response time, and consistency. One number that tells you exactly how your API is doing.

Above 90 is healthy, 70-90 is degraded, below 70 needs immediate attention. Share a single metric across engineering, product, and leadership.

Smart Alerts

Slack and email alerts grouped into incidents — one notification when a problem starts, updates as it evolves, and resolution when it clears.

Professional and Enterprise plans add custom alert rules so you control exactly which conditions trigger notifications.

Anomaly Detection

Detects performance degradation before it becomes a full outage. Upwatch learns your endpoint's baseline and flags unusual behavior automatically.

Get alerted when an API responds 3x slower than usual — even if it's still returning 200 OK. Available on Professional and Enterprise plans.

Incident Tracking

Automatic incident detection with full lifecycle tracking — when it started, how severity changed, and when it resolved.

Review historical incidents to identify patterns and track mean time to recovery. All incident data feeds into your health score history.

Public Status Pages

A shareable status page showing real-time health, uptime history, and recent incidents for the endpoints you choose to expose.

Enterprise plans include white-label options with your own branding and domain. Available on Professional and Enterprise plans.

Custom Alert Rules

Define exactly when your team gets notified. Set thresholds for response time, health score, or HTTP status codes.

Require multiple consecutive failures before triggering to eliminate false positives. Available on Professional and Enterprise plans.

API Access

Pull monitoring data into your own tools, dashboards, and CI/CD pipelines with API keys generated from your dashboard.

Block deployments when a dependency is degraded, populate internal dashboards, or trigger custom automation. Available on Professional and Enterprise plans.

Team Management

Invite your team with role-based access control. Control who can modify endpoints, receive alerts, and manage billing.

Each member gets their own login and notification preferences. Available on Professional and Enterprise plans.
