What you get
You’ll know when your servers fail, recover, or return unexpected content.
Simon helps you keep track of whether your websites, apps, and servers are responding as expected. You can set up tests for failures, recoveries, and content changes, then receive email, sound, or spoken alerts rather than repeatedly checking each service yourself. You can also watch pages for new posts or comments.
When a test shows a problem, you can inspect the rendered page, HTML source, server headers, and filtered output inside the app. That gives you evidence to help investigate what went wrong. You can narrow checks to relevant text and ignore HTML markup, so your tests focus on the content you care about.
If you look after many services, you can group tests by server, client, or type to keep them manageable. You can also generate HTML status reports for viewing in a browser, save them automatically, or send them to a remote server.
