# Website Monitoring
|
||||||
|
|

## What We Monitor
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
digiBandit monitors client websites for availability and traffic health using a two-layer approach:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Traffic Analysis** - We track visitor patterns using privacy-friendly analytics. When a site that normally receives regular traffic suddenly drops to zero, that's often an early warning sign of a problem (broken pages, SSL issues, CDN problems, DNS failures).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. **HTTP Health Checks** - When a traffic anomaly is detected, we automatically verify the site is reachable. This confirms whether the issue is a real outage or just a quiet day.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## How Alerts Work
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When our system detects a potential issue:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The site's traffic pattern is compared against its 7-day baseline
|
||||||
|
- If traffic has dropped to zero on a site that normally gets visitors, an HTTP check runs
|
||||||
|
- If the HTTP check also fails, the team is alerted immediately
|
||||||
|
- We investigate and begin remediation, often before anyone notices the site is down
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## What Triggers an Alert
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Condition | Action |
|
||||||
|
|-----------|--------|
|
||||||
|
| Normal traffic, site responds | No action needed |
|
||||||
|
| Low-traffic site (< 5 visitors/day) | Monitored but excluded from anomaly alerts |
|
||||||
|
| Traffic drop + site responds | Flagged as warning, investigated |
|
||||||
|
| Traffic drop + site unreachable | Alert sent to team, immediate investigation |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Check Frequency
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Check Type | Frequency | Coverage |
|
||||||
|
|------------|-----------|----------|
|
||||||
|
| Traffic analysis | Every 4 hours | All client websites with analytics |
|
||||||
|
| HTTP health checks | On-demand (when anomaly detected) | Flagged sites only |
|
||||||
|
| Infrastructure monitoring | Every 5 minutes | digiBandit internal services |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Status Page
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A live status page is maintained at `Services/Website_Status.md` in this repository. It is updated automatically every 4 hours with the current health of all monitored sites.
