Monitoring results

The monitoring tool notifies advertisers of possible problems with their site availability. The monitoring algorithm checks site availability by requesting the home page.

Site availability is tested by a distributed system of robots, and reports are generated based on data from the group of tests by the distributed monitoring system. The Yandex Metrica robot that checks your site's availability collects data for the report.

To view the report: Reports → Standard reports → Monitoring → Monitoring results.

Conditions for getting the report

In order for monitoring to work, you must correctly specify the website address on the tag editing page and subscribe to notifications.

Report structure and settings

When you subscribe to monitoring notifications, two types of messages will start arriving at the email address you specified:

  • A message about site problems, if the site is not responding.
  • A message about the site being restored, when the site comes back online.
Monitoring is disabled if:
  • The site is unavailable for more than seven days in a row. When monitoring is disabled, a notification message is sent to the email address that you entered in notification settings. Your subscription to notifications will then be canceled. To continue receiving messages about the site, subscribe again.

The report contains the following information:

  • Time intervals when the site was available or unavailable.
  • Uptime — the percent of time the site was available during the selected period.
  • The hosting provider's server response code in each of the time periods.

This table shows information about errors that caused site unavailability.

Questions and answers

Monitoring shows that my site is not available

To check site availability, a robot is used with the following type of User Agent string:

User-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; YandexMetrika/2.0; +http://yandex.com/bots yabs01)

In some cases, the server settings forbid accepting requests from unknown User Agents or certain IP addresses. This may trigger false notifications about site unavailability.

To get more information about what is causing errors, contact your webmaster with the monitoring data.
