Know sooner when your systems need attention.
A one-off setup of checks and alerts for the systems your business relies on. We agree what to monitor, test that alerts reach the right people and leave you with a clear view of what is covered.
When it helps
When important systems need checks you can rely on, and alerts need a clear destination.
Customers notice first
You learn that something is down or struggling when a customer gets in touch.
- Identify the systems behind the affected service.
- Set up agreed availability and health checks.
- Test that a failed check produces the expected alert.
New systems need coverage
A launch, migration or growing setup has added systems that your existing checks do not cover.
- Map the new systems and important dependencies.
- Add checks around the agreed risks and failure signs.
- Document the coverage and any remaining gaps.
The plan keeps waiting
You know what needs monitoring, but product work and daily demands keep delaying the setup.
- Work from your existing priorities and tool choices.
- Configure the agreed checks and alert rules.
- Test the setup and hand it over with clear instructions.
Alerts have no clear destination
Checks exist, but you cannot rely on the alerts reaching the people who need to act.
- Agree recipients and escalation routes for each alert.
- Configure delivery through the agreed channels.
- Confirm receipt and document who maintains the setup.
Useful checks. Alerts that reach the right people.
We agree which systems to cover, what should trigger an alert and where it should go.
Checks built around your systems.
- Availability and health checks for agreed systems and dependencies.
- Alert thresholds and rules based on the conditions that need attention.
- Notification channels, recipients and agreed escalation routes.
- Tests from a failed check through to receipt of the alert.
- Documentation and a walkthrough with the people maintaining the setup.
A working setup and a clear handover.
- Configured checks and alert rules for the agreed scope.
- A coverage map showing what is monitored and what remains outside it.
- Alert test results recording delivery, receipt and any unresolved gaps.
- A short guide to recipients, thresholds and routine changes, with a handover walkthrough.
Not part of this setup.
Any further work is optional and agreed separately.
- Continuous human monitoring, on-call cover or incident response.
- Fixing the underlying system faults that monitoring reveals.
- A full rebuild of existing alerting, application logging or performance tracing.
How it works
We handle the setup and coordination, working with your team or provider to test and hand it over.
Agree the coverage
We start with your priorities and any existing plan, then agree the systems, checks, recipients, price and timing. Any new tool costs are clear before work begins.
Configure the checks
We coordinate access with your team or provider and set up the agreed checks, thresholds and alert routes. We reuse suitable tools already in place.
Test the alert path
We run agreed tests and confirm that recipients receive the expected alerts. Any test that could affect live systems is agreed in advance, and we record gaps that remain.
Hand over the setup
We walk your team through the coverage, alert routes and routine changes, then confirm who maintains the checks and who responds when an alert arrives.
