What is Watchman Tower?

Watchman Tower is a digital asset health monitoring platform designed to help teams monitor websites, APIs, domains, SSL certificates, and internal system signals from one workspace. It combines external checks with connected integrations so you can move from isolated status checks to a clearer view of operational health.

​
Core Capabilities

​
Uptime Monitoring

Monitor HTTP/HTTPS endpoints with configurable intervals. Each check can validate:
  • Response status codes
  • Response time
  • Content validation (optional)
  • Header checks

​
Performance Tracking

Track key response and delivery metrics:
  • Time to First Byte (TTFB)
  • Full page load time
  • DNS resolution time
  • TCP connection time
  • SSL handshake time

​
SSL Certificate Monitoring

Automatic SSL certificate tracking:
  • Expiration dates
  • Certificate chain validation
  • Issuer information
  • Alert thresholds (7, 14, 30 days)

​
Internal Signal Visibility

Use integrations such as the WordPress plugin to add internal signals alongside external checks when you need more context around site health and changes happening inside the application.

​
Key Components

​
Monitoring Edge

Watchman Tower’s monitoring layer handles scheduled checks, signal collection, and health updates across your monitored assets.

​
Warden Agent

Server monitoring extends visibility into infrastructure-level resource health and system conditions.

​
WordPress Agent

The WordPress integration adds internal WordPress telemetry so you can pair inside-the-site signals with your broader monitoring workflow.

​
Noema Health Engine

Noema is the signal evaluation layer inside Watchman Tower. It helps interpret signals from external checks and internal integrations to support clearer health visibility and lower-noise operations.

​
Notifications

Notification channels help route alerts and recoveries to the right people when monitored assets need attention.

​
Use Cases

Monitor customer-facing endpoints, critical APIs, and service health so your team gets operational visibility before issues spread.
Ensure your checkout process, payment gateways, and product pages are always accessible.
Monitor REST APIs, GraphQL endpoints, and webhooks with custom assertions and status code validation.
Use the WordPress integration to add internal signals alongside external monitoring when WordPress is part of your stack.
Track SSL expiration across all your domains and get alerts before certificates expire.
Monitor domain expiration dates with automatic alerts at 30, 14, 7, and 3 days before expiry to prevent losing your domains.
