Vad är PingPuffin?
PingPuffin är en minimalistisk plattform för upptidsövervakning som hjälper företag att övervaka webbplatsers tillgänglighet 24/7 och få omedelbara notifikationer när webbplatser går ner eller upplever problem. Den är designad för att vara enkel, snabb och pålitlig utan behov av komplex konfiguration.
Hur fungerar PingPuffin?
PingPuffin övervakar dina webbplatser och API:er genom att kontrollera dem var 5:e minut från flera platser.

Plattformen spårar automatiskt upptidsstatistik, svarstider och händelsehistorik.
Hur sätter jag upp PingPuffin?
Att sätta upp PingPuffin tar bara minuter. Registrera dig med din e-post, lösenord och namn. Lägg sedan till din första webbplats-URL - det är allt. Ingen komplex konfiguration behövs. Förnuftiga standardinställningar hanterar allt, och övervakningen startar omedelbart.

Övervakningsfunktioner
What can I monitor with PingPuffin?
You can monitor any website, API endpoint, or URL with PingPuffin. This includes public websites, protected endpoints with authentication, API endpoints using POST requests, and even WordPress sites through our official plugin.
How often does PingPuffin check my websites?
PingPuffin checks your websites every 5 minutes by default. This interval is configurable, ensuring you're notified quickly when issues occur while not overwhelming your servers with too many requests.
Can I monitor multiple websites?
Yes, you can monitor unlimited websites with PingPuffin. All plans include unlimited monitors, so you can track as many sites, APIs, or endpoints as you need from a single dashboard.
How do I add a website to monitor?
Adding a website is simple: enter the URL in the add monitor form, give it a friendly name, and click save. PingPuffin immediately performs the first check and starts monitoring. No configuration needed - sensible defaults handle everything.
What happens when my website goes down?
When your website goes down, PingPuffin detects it within 5 minutes and sends instant notifications to all configured channels (email, Slack, SMS, etc.). An incident is automatically created, your status page updates, and you receive alerts until the site recovers.
Can I monitor API endpoints?
Yes, PingPuffin fully supports API monitoring. You can monitor API endpoints using GET or POST requests, send custom request bodies (JSON or form data), and monitor protected endpoints with authentication. Perfect for tracking API availability and response times.
Can I monitor protected endpoints?
Yes, PingPuffin supports monitoring protected endpoints with basic authentication. You can securely store credentials and monitor endpoints that require login. The platform handles authentication automatically during checks.
Does PingPuffin support SSL monitoring?
Yes, PingPuffin monitors SSL certificates and detects certificate issues. You can configure HTTP fallback options and track SSL errors. The platform automatically detects SSL problems and notifies you when certificates are about to expire or have issues.
Can I monitor redirects?
Yes, PingPuffin automatically detects redirects and shows where they go. You can configure redirect handling and get notified about unexpected redirects. The platform tracks redirect chains and helps you identify configuration issues.
Does PingPuffin detect Cloudflare challenges?
Yes, PingPuffin detects Cloudflare challenge pages and handles them appropriately. The platform recognizes challenge pages and provides clear status indicators, so you know when your site is being challenged rather than actually down.
Can I monitor staging environments?
Yes, you can monitor any environment including staging, development, or production. Many developers use PingPuffin to track staging environments, API endpoints, and personal projects. All environments are treated equally with the same monitoring capabilities.
Can I monitor subdomains?
Yes, you can monitor any subdomain just like any other URL. Add the full subdomain URL (e.g., api.example.com, status.example.com) and PingPuffin will monitor it independently. Each subdomain is treated as a separate monitor.
How do I disable monitoring temporarily?
You can disable any monitor with one click. This pauses monitoring and stops notifications without deleting the monitor. Re-enable it anytime to resume monitoring. Perfect for temporarily pausing monitoring during migrations or maintenance.
How do I manually trigger a check?
You can manually trigger an immediate check for any monitor from the monitor page. Click 'Check Now' and see results instantly without waiting for the scheduled check. Perfect for testing after making changes or verifying status.
What is the minimum check interval?
The default check interval is 5 minutes, which provides a good balance between quick detection and not overwhelming your servers. You can configure this interval, but 5 minutes is recommended for most use cases.
Can I monitor localhost or internal networks?
PingPuffin monitors from external locations, so it can't directly monitor localhost or internal networks. However, you can use webhooks or the API to send status updates from internal systems to PingPuffin for tracking.
Notifikationer

PingPuffin supports multiple notification channels including email (built-in), Slack, SMS, WhatsApp, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, and custom webhooks. You can configure multiple channels and choose which status changes trigger notifications.
