Heartbeat monitoring (reverse monitoring) enables you to monitor your internal services that are not publicly accessible (for example due to security reasons). You may ask “How is this possible”? This can be accomplished by sending us simple HTTP GET request to our unique heartbeat URL. You periodically send us those “pings” as long as your application is healthy. You can use tools like curl or wget for this in combination with Crontab on Linux or Task scheduler on Windows (to run them periodically).

Login to your AppBeat account and click on blue floating action button in bottom right corner. This should open “Create simple web check” dialog as shown below: Enter URL of website that you would like to monitor, expand “Keyword monitoring” section, enter keyword and select “must be present”. You can finish dialog by clicking “Create periodic monitor” button. AppBeat will now periodically check your web page and ensure it finds specified keyword.
