Uptime & public status
Run synthetic checks from Qyzar’s proxy pool, publish a public status page, and tune what HTTP codes count as healthy — including sites protected by Qyzar traffic rules.
Public status page (runtime page)
Your public status page (sometimes called the runtime status page) is hosted at https://status.qyzar.eu/<your-name>. It shows aggregate uptime and each monitor without requiring login.
- Open the dashboard:
Dashboard → [your project] → Uptime. - Claim a globally unique status name (e.g.
acme). This becomes the URL segment —status.qyzar.eu/acme. - Add one or more uptime monitors (URLs to probe).
- Share the public link. The page refreshes about every 15 seconds from live check data.
You can also see the claimed URL under Project → Settings → Public status page name.
Where to configure monitors
- Dashboard:
/dashboard/project/<projectId>/uptime - Public page:
https://status.qyzar.eu/<status-slug>(read-only) - API:
POST /projects/uptime-monitor,PATCH /projects/uptime-monitor,GET /projects/uptime(HTTP routes)
Expected response code overrides
By default, a check is UP when the response status is one of: 200, 201, 204, 301, 302, 303, 307, 308 and TLS is valid (for HTTPS). Timeouts and connection errors are always DOWN.
Override this per monitor with a comma-separated list of HTTP status codes. Only codes in your list count as UP — useful when a healthy endpoint returns 403, 401, or a custom maintenance code.
{
"projectId": "…",
"url": "https://api.example.com/health",
"expectedStatusCodes": [200, 403],
"userAgent": "Qyzar-Uptime/1.0"
}Leave expectedStatusCodes empty (or omit it) to use the default list above.
Allow the probe User-Agent (Qyzar-protected sites)
Checks are sent through Qyzar’s outbound proxy with a configurable User-Agent (default Qyzar-Uptime/1.0). If the URL you monitor is behind Qyzar verification or traffic rules, probes can be challenged or blocked like any other request unless you explicitly allow them.
- Note the Probe User-Agent on your monitor (dashboard form or API
userAgentfield). - Open
Dashboard → [project] → Traffic Rules. - Add a User-Agent rule with action
allowand pattern matching your probe, e.g.Qyzar-Uptime(substring) or^Qyzar-Uptime/(regex). - Prefer a dedicated health URL (e.g.
/health) that returns your expected status without running the full browser SDK — then allow only that path + UA if possible.

Checklist
- Status slug claimed on Uptime before adding monitors.
- Expected status codes match what your endpoint actually returns when healthy.
- Probe User-Agent allowed in Traffic Rules if the target is Qyzar-protected.
- Proxy registry configured on the API server (
backend/data/proxies.json) for outbound checks.
