Uptime checks
HTTP/HTTPS, keyword, port (TCP), ping, DNS, SSL certificate, domain expiration and heartbeat — run from a global cloud network or from runners on your own infrastructure.
PathWatch Documentation
Production-grade monitoring without the per-check pricing roulette.
What PathWatch monitors
Browser Lite checks
Real browser runs against a single page, across Chromium, Firefox and WebKit. Not a headless HTTP request pretending to be a browser.
Browser Flow checks
Multi-step user journeys — sign-in, checkout, search — with assertions at every step, so you find out which step broke.
Status pages
Public and private, custom domains, password protection and scheduled maintenance windows.
Who this site is for
These public docs cover everything you can configure from the PathWatch web app or REST API.
Advanced topics — TechDocs
Some features sit one layer deeper than the web app. We keep documentation for them on a separate site, techdocs.pathwatch.app, behind a sign-in:
Self-hosted runners
Docker deployment, scaling and troubleshooting.
Air-gapped installs
Running PathWatch checks without outbound internet.
Security architecture
Runner ↔ API encryption, image hardening, sub-processor list.
Runner protocol
Wire-level reference for partners building a custom runner.
TechDocs requires an active paid subscription — start a Starter plan (or any higher tier) and you’ll have access immediately.
