Broad monitoring suites can be useful for infrastructure, application, network, and operations teams.
Some teams mainly need to know whether important customer-facing pages work, whether they stay fast and error-free, and whether key flows still complete.
NorthDuty organizes monitoring around projects with a base URL, managed URLs, health checks, journeys, status pages, settings, and alert rules.
The product is designed to make website failures understandable for teams that own pages, campaigns, stores, signups, and customer access.
