PRECISION TELEMETRY & OBSERVABILITY

Every layer of your uptime, monitored with surgical precision.

From DNS resolution and TLS handshakes to payload assertion and multi-region consensus, Stillpoint eliminates blind spots before outages affect your customers.

01 — GLOBAL SYNTHETIC PROBING

Deconstruct latency at every network hop

A slow response is rarely just a slow database. Stillpoint decomposes every synthetic check into five discrete phases, revealing exactly where latency spikes occur across 18 edge probe locations.

DNS resolution time & IP route anomalies
TCP 3-way handshake roundtrip
TLS 1.3 cryptographic negotiation
Time to First Byte (TTFB) server compute

02 — ANTI-FALSE-ALARM ENGINE

No 3 AM alerts for transient internet blips.

Traditional monitors alert whenever a single local ISP drops a packet. Stillpoint enforces distributed consensus: if one node detects a failure, two geographically separate nodes verify the outage before a single alert is dispatched.

Phase 1Frankfurt Probe (EU)

Provisional Failure

HTTP 502 Bad Gateway

Frankfurt detects a response timeout. Incident state is flagged as PENDING. Alerts remain strictly suppressed.

Phase 2London & Virginia Probes

Cross-Node Quorum

Verification In-Progress

Immediate dispatch to secondary probe nodes in nearby regions on separate internet backbones to test transit routes.

Phase 3Consensus Engine

Confirmed Incident

3/3 Nodes Confirmed Outage

Consensus quorum confirmed. High-priority alert dispatched to Slack & PagerDuty with full curl reproduction snippet.

03 — COMPREHENSIVE PROTOCOLS

Built for modern web services and API endpoints

Whether you run edge functions, microservices, GraphQL APIs, or database connections, Stillpoint supports every critical protocol with zero third-party dependencies.

HTTP / HTTPS (REST & GraphQL)

Standard

Validates status codes, response headers, body strings, and latency from 18 global probe regions.

SSL / TLS Certificate Monitoring

Included

Tracks certificate expiry, certificate chain validity, revocation status, and weak cipher configurations.

WebSocket & Realtime Streams

Pro

Dispatches heartbeat pings to WS/WSS endpoints to detect connection drops and socket timeouts.

TCP Port & UDP Ping

Pro

Direct socket probes for databases (Postgres, MySQL, Redis), SSH servers, and custom port listeners.

DNS Records & Propagation

Included

Monitors A, AAAA, CNAME, and MX record accuracy and flags unexpected resolver hijacks or misconfigurations.

ICMP Network Ping

Included

Measures low-level network packet loss, hop jitter, and route stability directly to your server IP.

}
04 — PAYLOAD & HEADER ASSERTIONS

Don't just check for 200 OK. Assert business logic.

Many outages return a 200 HTTP status code with a blank white page or an error JSON payload. Stillpoint parses JSON response bodies, evaluates regex strings, and tests custom auth headers.

JSONPath Expression Evaluation

Inspect nested JSON keys like services.database.healthy === true without writing custom scraper code.

Custom Bearer & HMAC Headers

Safely inject encrypted tokens to authenticate probes against protected staging endpoints and internal microservices.
