DownWarning

Local Monitoring Agents

Not every server is reachable from the public internet. DownWarning's local agent runs inside your private network, executing HTTP, Ping, and Port checks against internal hosts and securely uploading the results to the cloud.

  1. 1. Install the Agent

    Download a single binary and run it on any Linux, macOS, or Windows machine inside your network. No dependencies required.

  2. 2. Agent Reports Results

    Check results are encrypted and sent to DownWarning over HTTPS. Your internal services stay completely private.

  3. 3. Monitor on Dashboard

    View latency, uptime percentages, and incidents from the DownWarning dashboard or mobile app — alongside your public monitors.

Why use local agents?

Traditional uptime monitors can only check publicly accessible endpoints. But most production systems include private databases, internal APIs, queue brokers, and cache servers that are invisible from the outside. A local agent bridges that gap, giving you full observability over your entire infrastructure without opening firewall ports or creating VPN tunnels.

Local agents are available on Pro and Scale plans. Scale plans support up to 100 agents for large or distributed environments.
