Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about NorthDuty and website monitoring.

What is the difference between journey monitoring and uptime monitoring?

Uptime monitoring checks that a URL responds. Journey monitoring drives a browser through steps such as adding to cart, filling a form, or logging in, and checks each step succeeds. A site can be up while every journey is broken.

Which journey should I monitor first?

The one closest to revenue: checkout for a store, signup or trial start for SaaS, the main contact or quote form for a service business. Add login next, since failed logins generate support tickets quickly.
