What is Netumo?
Netumo monitors your website, API, domain, DNS, TCP Port, or SSL Certificate by checking that they are valid, with up to 1-minute intervals. If something is wrong it notifies you. There is no installation required.
How do I set up a monitor?
To set up a monitor correctly you need to define a name that uniquely identifies the monitor, the URL of the monitor, and the frequency and part of the content that should be matched from the returned result.
What is the Netumo User-Agent?
Netumo/0.2 (+https://www.netumo.app) This can also be adjusted per monitor.
Does Netumo require installation?
No, Netumo does not require any installation. It does not require changes to your website.

Does Netumo require access to my Registrar login?

Does Netumo require access to my web hosting provider?
No, Netumo works via synthetic monitor just like any user who visits your website.
What results does Netumo track?
Netumo has 4 types of results: OK – Everything is OK and works well, including the certificate (in case of HTTPS), the content returned, and status. Failed – Something is wrong with the site or the SSL Certificate. Timeout – The site started returning content but is very slow NoMatch – The site is up, but the content did not match what was expected. It also keeps track of HTTP Status Codes for http/https type monitoring.
How does SSL Certificate monitoring work?
Netumo will check SSL Certificates each time it connects to a particular site. If the certificate has any issue it will Fail the check and report an error. In case that the certificate is expiring soon within the notification window as set up in the monitor then it will also trigger an alert. In case of a missing certificate, Netumo will also trigger an alert.
Where can I find more help?
Additional help can be found on https://docs.netumo.com. Alternatively use the chat functionality within the website or the Contact Us page.
Where can I test notifications are working?
The best way to rest Netumo is to create a page on your website. Include a unique term in such a page and then go to Netumo and add a monitor for that page that monitors that particular unique term. Once Netumo checks the page you can then go to your page and change the term to be something else. At this stage Netumo should send a NoMatch notification after detecting that there was a change and your unique term is no longer there. This will ensure that Netumo is working correctly and Notifications are also triggering well.
Which email domains are used for notifications?
Netumo uses the netumo.com and netumo.net domains for notifications. We recommend whitelisting *@netumo.com and *.netumo.net
