The Monitoring page is the control room for website availability checks in Siteimp. It shows which websites are available for monitoring, which ones currently have monitoring turned on, and whether any enabled websites are failing.
This page is intentionally broader than the website-level monitoring screen. It gives you a workspace-level snapshot first, then lets you open a specific website when you need to manage targets, review failures, or look at stored monitoring results.
Monitoring is local-first. The page reads website records and monitoring summaries from your local database, then presents the current state in one table. From here, you can turn monitoring on or off for a website, refresh the overview, add a new website, or open the detailed monitoring page for one site.
What this page is for
The Monitoring page helps answer a few practical questions quickly:
- how many websites are available for monitoring?
- how many websites currently have monitoring enabled?
- are any enabled websites failing right now?
- when was each website last checked?
- which website needs closer review?
It is not meant to show every monitoring result in detail. The detailed evidence lives on each website’s monitoring page. This overview is for orientation, quick status checks, and fast navigation.
What you can do here
Review the monitoring summary
At the top of the page, Siteimp shows summary cards for the whole local workspace.
The Websites card shows the total number of websites available for monitoring.
The Monitoring on card shows how many websites currently have monitoring enabled.
The Failing websites card shows how many enabled websites currently have a failing monitoring summary.
These numbers help you see whether monitoring is active and whether anything needs attention before opening a specific website.
Review all monitored websites
The main table lists every website in your local Siteimp workspace. Each row shows:
- website name
- registrable domain
- whether monitoring is on or off
- current monitoring status
- number of monitoring targets
- number of failing targets
- number of stored results
- last checked time
- available actions
This table is the fastest way to compare monitoring state across multiple websites.
Turn monitoring on or off
Each website row includes a Turn on or Turn off button.
Turning monitoring on enables scheduled checks for that website using its configured monitoring settings and targets. Turning monitoring off stops scheduled monitoring checks for that website.
The button changes to Saving... while Siteimp updates the local monitoring settings. Siteimp also reports the result through the in-app feedback system.
Open website-level monitoring
Use Open to move into the monitoring page for a specific website.
That page is where you manage target-level details, review current failures, inspect recent results, and prune stored monitoring data. The overview page tells you which website to inspect. The website monitoring page shows the evidence.
You can also open a website by selecting the table row. Rows are keyboard-accessible, so pressing Enter or Space on a focused row opens the matching website monitoring page.
Refresh monitoring data
The Refresh button reloads websites and monitoring summaries from the local database. Use it when you want to confirm the latest status after changing settings or returning to the page.
While the refresh is running, the button changes to Refreshing....
Add a website
The Add website action takes you to the setup page for adding another site to your local workspace.
A website must exist before it can be monitored. If there are no websites yet, Siteimp shows an empty state instead of the monitoring table.
Understanding the summary cards
Websites
This is the total number of website records available in your local Siteimp workspace.
A website can appear here even if monitoring is turned off. The card answers “how many websites could be monitored?” rather than “how many are actively being checked?”
Monitoring on
This is the number of websites with monitoring enabled.
A website can only be checked on a schedule when monitoring is on and the website has usable monitoring configuration. If monitoring is off, the website remains in your workspace but scheduled checks do not run for it.
Failing websites
This is the number of enabled websites whose current monitoring summary is failing.
This card intentionally counts websites, not individual targets. A single website may have multiple targets, but at the overview level the important question is whether that website needs review.
Understanding the table
Website
The first column shows the website name and registrable domain. Use this to identify the site quickly, especially if you monitor several related projects.
Monitoring
This column shows whether monitoring is On or Off for that website.
If monitoring is off, Siteimp does not treat the website as actively monitored from this overview.
Status
The status column summarizes the current monitoring condition.
Common statuses include:
- Off, when monitoring is disabled
- Healthy, when monitoring is enabled and the current summary is okay
- Failing, when monitoring is enabled and the current summary has failures
- Unknown, when monitoring is enabled but Siteimp does not yet have enough result data
- Error, when the page could not load the monitoring summary for that row
Targets
Targets are the specific URLs or checks configured for monitoring under a website.
A website can have zero targets. If monitoring is turned on but there are no targets, the website may not produce useful monitoring results until targets are configured on the website-level monitoring page.
Failing
This shows how many targets are currently failing for the website.
Use this column to decide whether a website needs closer review. If the number is greater than zero, open the website monitoring page to inspect the failing targets.
Results
This shows how many monitoring results are stored for the website.
A larger number usually means monitoring has been running long enough to build history. A zero can mean monitoring has not run yet, monitoring is off, no targets exist, or results have been pruned.
Last checked
This shows the most recent monitoring check time Siteimp can find for that website.
If the value is Never, Siteimp does not have a recorded check time yet. That can be normal for a newly added website, a website with monitoring disabled, or a website that has not run checks yet.
How to use this page
A good monitoring workflow is:
- Open Monitoring to review the workspace-level status.
- Check the summary cards for enabled and failing websites.
- Use the table to find the website you care about.
- Turn monitoring on if the website should be checked.
- Open the website’s monitoring page to manage targets and inspect details.
- Refresh the overview when you want to confirm updated status.
For a new website, the flow is usually:
- Add the website.
- Open Monitoring.
- Turn monitoring on for that website.
- Open the website monitoring page.
- Configure or review monitoring targets.
- Let Siteimp collect results over time.
Monitoring on and off
Turning monitoring on does not mean every possible URL on the website is checked. It means the website is enabled for scheduled monitoring using its configured monitoring targets and settings.
Turning monitoring off stops scheduled checks for that website. Existing stored results can still remain available until they are pruned according to retention settings.
This distinction matters because monitoring is website-level control plus target-level evidence. The overview page controls the broad on/off state. The website monitoring page handles the more detailed work.
Empty and loading states
Loading monitoring overview
When the page first opens, Siteimp reads websites and monitoring summaries from the local database. During that time, the page shows a loading state.
This is normal. The overview has to combine website records with monitoring summaries before it can show the table.
No websites yet
If your local workspace has no websites, the Monitoring page cannot show monitoring rows yet.
Add a website first. After the website exists, it can appear on this page and monitoring can start from its base URL.
Monitoring was not turned on or off
If Siteimp cannot turn monitoring on or off, the app reports the failure through the in-app feedback system.
This usually means Siteimp could not save the updated monitoring settings for that website. Try refreshing the page and repeating the action. If the problem continues, open technical support and include the website name, whether you were turning monitoring on or off, and the error shown in the app.
Where to go next
From the Monitoring page, the next useful destination is usually a website-level monitoring page.
Open a website when you need to:
- manage monitoring targets
- review current failures
- inspect recent monitoring results
- change website monitoring settings
- prune stored monitoring data
The Monitoring page is the map. Website-level monitoring is where the target-by-target evidence lives.
