How to Monitor your IP Address, Email Authentication, and Website

How to Set Up Uptime Monitoring

Downtime is not a matter of ‘If,’ but a matter of ‘When.’ Any successful business cannot afford to disappoint its customers by not being aware of when its site is down. 

GlockApps Uptime Monitor allows you to stay updated on the status of your IPs, domain authentication records, and website protocols at all times.

Follow these simple steps to start Uptime Monitoring so you can spot and fix any downtime issues instantaneously.

With GlockApps, you can set up Uptime Monitors for:

  • IP Blocklists
  • Email Authentication: DKIM, DMARC, and SPF
  • Website Protocols: TCP, TLS, and HTTP

You can find the DKIM selector in your domain DNS. Look at the DKIM records. Your DKIM selector is the first part of the value containing “._domainkey” in the Host Name field. For example, if the name is default._domainkey, the Selector will be default.
