"Anyone who has lost track of time when using a computer knows the propensity to dream, the urge to make dreams come true and the tendency to miss lunch."

web application monitoring
Years ago only a small percentage of companies sold products or services online. These were typically larger companies such as Amazon.com or eBay. Now it is the norm rather than the exception for companies to sell products and services, as well as offer message boards or other sort of user interaction. This added level of interaction brings with it added layers of complexity and more ways for something to go wrong. Yet, despite this, many companies who gain a significant portion of their income from online sales don't regularly or adequately test their systems to make sure everything is working as it should. As a cost-effective solution to this, UV Uptime is proud to offer our Web Application Monitoring feature.
How our web application monitoring system works
The Web Application Monitoring feature of UV Uptime simulates the behavior of real website users by processing a transaction through the application on your monitored URL at regular intervals, as frequently as every five minutes. This transaction could be customer a customer feedback section, blog, shopping cart, or almost any other interactive program. The Application Monitoring system allows for cookies, referring URLs, authentication, and a host of other settings. Application Monitoring is managed via the Customer Management Area and requires no additional software to install or maintain on your servers.
Why web application monitoring works
Testing your applications at regular intervals also ensures that your website is acting as expected. Since error messages generated by custom applications generally differ than those produced by webserver software, UV Uptime's basic checker might see that the webpage is online and not send an alert, despite the custom program indicating that there is an error in the software. While the Text Inspector feature helps prevent against this, the Application Monitoring feature is a much more thorough detection measure.
UV Uptime Web Application Monitoring performs regular tests of your critical systems that are likely going unchecked. Making sure you know if something is wrong and avoiding missed sales or user interaction is critical.
