Scenario

Let's say you operate a single server for www.acme.com and you simply want to know if when your website goes down or becomes unresponsive.

Setup

To monitor this server effectively, you might configure your Trendics account as follows...

Devices	Monitored Tests	Alert Rules	Contacts
www.acme.com	HTTP Connection Test	<100% Uptime	Notify via email (kent@acme.com)
			Notify via email (kent@acme.com)
		>800 ms Latency	Notify via email (kent@acme.com)
			Notify via email (kent@acme.com)

Cost

If all Monitored Tests above were done every 15 minutes, the total monthly cost for 1 monitored test is...$0.00/month (includes another 4 monitored tests free)

If all Monitored Tests above were done every 5 minutes, the total monthly cost for 1 monitored test is...$14.00/month (includes another 2 monitored tests for the same $14.00/month).

If all Monitored Tests above were done every 1 minutes, the total monthly cost for 1 monitored test is...$14.00/month.

Tip

To reduce false alarms, you might choose to increase the Consecutive Failure Count on the Alert Rules above to require multiple consecutive time periods to failure before the Alert Rule is triggered.
