What Tenium does besides checking URLs

The short tour

A monitor is the easy part: request a URL, record what came back. The work that decides whether a monitoring tool is pleasant to live with happens around that request. Who gets told, and after how long. Whether a flaky route from one data centre wakes someone at night. What the client sees when something breaks, and what lands in their inbox on the first of the month. This page lists the features that handle those questions, with a one-line summary and a link to the details for each.

At the core is confirmation. A failed check is repeated from other regions, and an incident opens only when all two regions agree. Around it sit incident records with evidence, maintenance windows that keep planned work out of your uptime figures, and integrations that put the alert where your team already talks. For agencies there is a second layer: client workspaces with their own logins, white-label status pages, and a branded report generated per client.

Features are tiered the way the prices are. Free ($0) covers the basics with email, Discord and Google Chat alerts and one status page. Starter ($7) adds Slack, Telegram and Teams, custom domains and SSL checks. Pro ($29) adds escalation, webhooks, white-label pages and one branded monthly report. Agency ($59) adds client workspaces and an automatic report per client. Each feature page states its plan, and the full table is on the pricing page.

Checks currently run from two regions, and we add more as they go live. We would rather say that plainly than promise a map of dots we do not operate yet.

Where features meet the job

Features rarely matter on their own; they matter in combination. A freelancer with a handful of WordPress sites mostly needs a keyword check, Telegram alerts and a status page. A studio promising uptime in a contract wants escalation and white-label pages. An agency with a dozen retainer clients wants the report to arrive without anyone remembering to send it. Pick the audience page closest to you and follow its links: agencies, WordPress site owners, online stores, DevOps teams, developers and business owners.

To see which kinds of check exist, go to monitoring types. To see how we stack up on price and scope against other tools, read the comparisons. Developers who want to automate any of this can start from the REST API overview.
