Notification for slow reponse time#52

It would be useful to detect when a site responds too slowly.

All that is need is a simple time value for the delay threshold. If the site responded after that delay, a warning would be sent.

This would allow us to detect an anomaly on a server and distinguish between a slow or down server.

Hello, thanks for the suggestion. We will consider adding it. Thanks!

Yes, we need this too. For us the monitoring is nearly useless without this feature.

Degradation of service is generally a great indicator that something more serious is about to happy. I would really like to see this happen too.

This is a neat feature but how would you handle the fact that the response time differs based on the location from where it is called?

Hi Niels, you could set it to something like 50-100% above a normal page load time for me, 400ms is typical. If it goes above 600ms I know there could be an issue. Another option is to get an alert if it goes 100% above the current 30 day average.

I would benefit from this feature also, reporting a site down is not helpful when the latency is to high

Thank you for your feedback, and I’m really sorry for the wait. Slow response time notifications feature relies on a new monitoring core that we’ve been working on for some time. It’s a complex piece of work that is essential for ensuring the highest quality of service, and we want to make sure it’s absolutely perfect before it’s fully rolled out.

That said, we are already in the process of rolling it out, so it shouldn’t be much longer. We appreciate your patience as we carefully ensure that the final product meets your expectations!

Well?

Is this ready for all users now?

Would love to see this soon. We have to maintain another product to do this response time monitoring for us.

It’s here! 🎉 You can now set up response time notifications — the feature is live and available for all users on the new monitoring core.

We know this one took a while, and we really appreciate the patience (and persistence!) from everyone who stuck with us. If you’ve got ideas for additional tuning or edge cases you’d like covered, feel free to open a separate suggestion so we can keep improving it.

Thanks again for all the feedback — it helped shape the final release!

Tomas this is great news. We did some testing with the latency monitoing and it did indeed detect the latency however we did not get an email alert for it. Do you have to do anything else with the email notifications to get an alert for latency?

Great to see, sadly it’s not available on legacy plans. 🤷
