Monitor from where your users are
Your users are not in one place, and neither is the internet. A check that runs from the wrong side of the world tells you very little about the person loading your site right now. Vigiles runs from a growing network of dedicated monitoring locations, so every check reflects what real users experience in the regions that matter to you.
A growing global check network
Vigiles currently runs from fourteen dedicated locations, with new regions in Europe and the Americas rolling out. Every location is a dedicated instance with its own Elastic IP, not a shared probe sitting on borrowed infrastructure.
You choose which locations each monitor runs from. A check from Tokyo runs from Tokyo. A check from Sydney runs from Sydney. You see the same path your users take, not an average smoothed out across a continent.
Where we monitor from
Live today
Singapore, Tokyo, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Sydney, Seoul, Osaka, Hong Kong, Taipei, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Ho Chi Minh City, and Hanoi.
Rolling out
Manila, then Frankfurt, London, Virginia, Oregon, and São Paulo.
Our coverage is deepest across Asia-Pacific today, and we are expanding outward so teams serving Europe and the Americas get that same density in their own regions.
Why the location of a check matters
Run your monitoring from the wrong place and you get the worst of both. You miss real outages because a distant node still sees green, and you get false alarms from long-haul latency that none of your users would ever notice.
Vigiles confirms a failure across more than one location before it opens an incident, so one bad network path does not page you for nothing. You get alerted when something is actually wrong, in a place your users actually are.
Built for teams with users in more than one place
If you serve customers across regions, your monitoring should match. Pick the locations closest to your users, whitelist the dedicated IPs in your firewall, and run HTTP, TCP, DNS, and SSL checks from each one. Every monitor reports back from the regions you chose, so the picture you see is the picture your users see.
