API monitoring
Know when your API stops delivering
Watch critical endpoints, validate every response, and move from detection to communication without stitching together separate tools.
HTTP and content checks
Failure confirmation
Alerts and status pages
API monitoring that goes beyond a simple ping
Check the signals that matter, reduce noisy alerts, and give responders useful context from the first notification.
Response validation
Track HTTP status codes, response times, and expected content so a fast but broken response does not look healthy.
Smarter failure detection
Use retries and confirmation thresholds to distinguish a brief network blip from a real outage.
Heartbeat monitoring
Expect regular signals from workers, queues, and scheduled jobs; alert when a signal arrives late or not at all.
Actionable alerts
Send the right incident context to your team through configured notification channels and webhooks.
Response-time history
Follow performance trends over time and spot degradation before customers report it.
Connected incident communication
Turn verified downtime into a clear incident and communicate updates on a branded status page.
From endpoint to informed response
A short setup creates a repeatable workflow for every important API.
Define the expected response
Add the endpoint, choose the check, and specify what a healthy response should look like.
Confirm real failures
Kiges records check results and applies your retry rules before raising an alert.
Respond and communicate
Notify responders, track the incident, and keep subscribers updated from one workflow.
One reliability workflow, not another isolated checker
Kiges connects technical detection with the work that follows an outage.
Monitor public endpoints and background processes in the same workspace.
Keep check history, incidents, components, and subscriber updates connected.
Automate with API keys and webhooks when your workflow needs custom logic.
FAQ
What can Kiges check on an API endpoint?
Kiges can check HTTP or HTTPS availability, response status, response time, and expected page or response content. TCP, DNS, ping, and heartbeat checks cover adjacent dependencies.
How does Kiges reduce false alarms?
You can configure retries and confirmation thresholds so a short-lived failure is checked again before responders are notified.
Can an API outage appear on a public status page?
Yes. Monitors, components, incidents, maintenance, and subscriber notifications can be connected to a branded public or private status page.
