Overview

Monitoring services like www.siteuptime.com or www.montastic.com require a page on your website to monitor.

This plugin provides a virtual target for your monitoring services that does not invoke other plugins (specifically avoiding the Google analytics plugins so that your statistics are not skewed by monitoring calls)
The two targets provided for the monitoring service are:

  • monitor.htm – via .htaccess and does not use WordPress (but does use PHP)
  • monitorWP.htm – via WP and so tests the Database etc is working

Frequently Asked Questions

Changelog

1.1.0

  • Corrected problem where permalinks did not register on activation for the internal page
  • Enabled i18n on the internal page (External page does not use WordPress so can’t access WordPress translations)
  • Changed charset from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 to fix problem with translations in the monitorWP.htm target file
  • included POT files and an attempt at Spanish translation (I apologise for any errors and corrections / new languages are welcome)
  • Translation on the external monitor.htm that does not use WordPress is coming if there is enough interest – I expect it is used less
