Global Monitoring

Multi-Region Website Monitoring

A single monitoring location gives you a single point of failure in your alerting. Sentinel checks every site from four regions across four continents, eliminating false positives and detecting regional outages that single-location monitors miss entirely.

How It Works

Verified from multiple regions before we alert you

Every uptime check runs simultaneously from our four monitoring regions: Ashburn (US East), Portland (US West), Nuremberg (Europe), and Singapore (Asia Pacific). When one region detects a failure, the other regions immediately verify the issue before any alert is sent.

This multi-region verification is what separates reliable monitoring from noisy monitoring. Network blips, transient routing issues, and brief DNS hiccups in a single data center will not trigger a false alert. Your on-call team only gets woken up when there is a real problem affecting real users. And when the issue is regional, Sentinel tells you exactly which regions are affected.

Features

Reliable alerting through global verification

4 Global Regions

Monitoring from Ashburn VA (US East), Portland OR (US West), Nuremberg Germany (Europe), and Singapore (Asia Pacific). True global coverage across four continents.

False Positive Elimination

A site is only marked as down after verification from multiple regions. A network blip in one data center will not trigger an alert or wake your on-call team at 3am.

Regional Outage Detection

Know instantly whether an issue is global or isolated to a specific region. If your site is down in Europe but up in North America, Sentinel tells you exactly that.

CDN Verification

Verify your CDN serves content correctly from every edge location. Catch regional CDN misconfigurations, expired edge caches, and routing issues before your users hit them.

Global Infrastructure

Four regions, four continents

Each monitoring region is strategically positioned to provide comprehensive coverage for the geographic areas where your users are located.

ASH

Ashburn, Virginia

North America (East)

Located in the largest data center corridor in the world, covering the US East Coast, Canada, and Latin America.

PDX

Portland, Oregon

North America (West)

Covering the US West Coast, Hawaii, and providing a secondary perspective for North American traffic.

NBG

Nuremberg, Germany

Europe

Central European location covering the EU, UK, Middle East, and Africa with low-latency connectivity.

SIN

Singapore

Asia Pacific

Southeast Asian hub covering APAC, India, Australia, and New Zealand for comprehensive Eastern Hemisphere coverage.

FAQ

Multi-region monitoring questions

Why does Sentinel monitor from multiple regions?

Monitoring from multiple regions eliminates false positives. A network blip or routing issue in one data center will not trigger an alert, because the other regions must confirm the failure first.

How many regions does Sentinel check from?

Sentinel checks every site from four global regions: Ashburn (US East), Portland (US West), Nuremberg (Europe), and Singapore (Asia Pacific). That spans four continents for true global coverage.

How does consensus prevent false alarms?

A site is only marked as down once multiple regions agree on the failure. This consensus requirement means a transient issue in a single region will not wake your on-call team in the middle of the night.

Can Sentinel tell me if an outage is regional?

Yes. Because checks run from four regions at once, Sentinel can tell you whether an issue is global or isolated to a specific region, such as your site being down in Europe but up in North America.

How often do multi-region checks run?

Checks can run as often as every 30 seconds, with all four regions checking in parallel. More frequent checks mean faster detection and verification of real outages.

What happens after a real outage is confirmed?

Once an outage is verified across regions, Sentinel sends alerts by email, SMS, Slack, Discord, or webhook and opens an incident with an automatic timeline of which regions were affected.
