Keep a pulse on your URLs with YAUT

Proactive monitoring of your URLs has never been this simple (and effective).

YAUT checks your URLs around the clock, from several locations, and tells you on Slack the moment something goes wrong, then when it is back. Set up a URL in a few seconds and say “goodbye!” to silent failures affecting your projects.

Lightweight website monitoring

Real-time monitoring

Check at a glance if your URLs are active and responsive

Yaut sends HTTP requests to your URLs on a regular basis, from every minute to once a day, to ensure they are always operational. A failed check is retried before raising an alert, so a temporary network glitch does not wake you up for nothing.

HTTP status and content

Ensure your URLs answer what they are supposed to

Yaut does not only check that your URLs respond: it verifies the HTTP status code you expect (a single code or a range like 3xx), and that the response contains, or does not contain, a given string. Custom method, headers, body and timeout are supported for every URL.

SSL certificates and domain names

Never be caught off guard by an expiration

Yaut checks the expiration date of your SSL certificates and alerts you in advance, 25 days by default, so you can renew them before they expire or be told when an automatic renewal failed. It can also watch the expiration date of the domain name itself.

Slack notifications

A deep integration with Slack to keep you informed

No need to check Yaut every day to know if your URLs are operational. Yaut posts in your Slack channel when a check starts failing, while it keeps failing, and when it is back to normal. Each URL can post to its own channel, and notifications can be muted during a maintenance.

Multi-region probes and response times

See how your URLs behave from around the world

Checks run from France, and optionally from the United States and Germany too. For each probe, Yaut records the response time split into DNS, connection, TLS, waiting and transfer phases, and charts it over the last day, week and month.

Public status page

Share the status of a project with your clients

Group your URLs into projects, and give each project a public status page: current status of every URL, with its uptime over the last 30 days. You choose which URLs are shown, and the page is kept out of search engines.

No more surprises.

Uptime and incidents

A year of history for every URL

Every check is recorded. For each URL, Yaut shows its uptime over the last 30 days and the last year, and a calendar of the year where each day is colored by its downtime, so an incident-free month is visible at a glance. Below it, the history of incidents lists every outage with its duration and its cause.

Checks can run every minute, every 2, 5, 10 or 30 minutes, every hour, every 2, 6 or 12 hours, or once a day.

Response times, phase by phase

Know where the time goes

Each probe records the response time of every check, split into DNS resolution, connection, TLS handshake, waiting for the server and transfer. Yaut charts it over the last day, week and month, for each location, so a slow DNS provider, a struggling backend or a heavy page do not look the same.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yaut is developed and hosted by JoliCode to monitor its projects and those of its clients. It is not a public service: there is no self-service sign-up and no pricing. An administrator adds your Google account to an organization, then you sign in with it.

Every URL can be checked with a custom HTTP method (GET, POST, etc.), custom headers, a custom body and a custom timeout, over HTTP or HTTPS. Basic authentication and bearer tokens go through the URL or the headers.

Yaut runs several kinds of checks on the response: the expected HTTP status code (a single code or a range like 3xx), the presence or the absence of a given string, the expiration date of the SSL certificate, and the expiration date of the domain name.

Checks run from our own server in Gravelines, France. For the URLs where you enable it, additional probes also run from Northern Virginia (United States) and Frankfurt (Germany), so you can see how a URL behaves from across the Atlantic and spot issues that only affect one region.

A failed check is retried before an alert is raised, to rule out a temporary network error, and the result tells you when it was retried. During a maintenance, you can mute the notifications of a URL for a chosen duration: checks keep running and its status stays up to date, only the alerts are silenced.

Yes. Every project can have a public status page, reachable through a secret link, showing the current status of its URLs and their uptime over the last 30 days. You choose which URLs appear on it, and the page asks search engines not to index it.
