Pingdom

Pingdom is a website monitoring service that checks the availability and performance of websites and web applications from outside the firewall. It forms part of the SolarWinds observability family. Its tools show how a site behaves for real visitors as well as in simulated tests.

Services

• Uptime monitoring: alerts when a site or service stops responding.
• Page speed monitoring: measures load performance and points to bottlenecks.
• Transaction monitoring: simulated visitor journeys that catch failed steps such as checkouts.
• Real user monitoring: data from actual visitors, including a live map and behaviour metrics.
• Infrastructure, application and log tools: server and container visibility, code-level tracing and log search, built on SolarWinds AppOptics and Loggly.
