What Are Monitoring Reports?

Monitoring reports automatically summarize your site's health over time. Instead of checking dashboards constantly, you receive comprehensive summaries via email — showing uptime percentages, response time trends, incidents, SSL status, and domain health at a glance.

Watchman Tower delivers weekly reports that give you the full picture: which sites are performing well, which need attention, and what changed since your last report. Everything you need to assess your infrastructure's reliability in one place.

Weekly Summary Reports

Every week, Watchman Tower sends you a detailed summary email that includes:

• Overall uptime percentage across all monitored sites
• Average response times to track performance trends
• Sites requiring attention prioritized by anomaly score
• Incident breakdown showing perfect, minor issues, and critical alerts
• Site-by-site details with uptime, response time, and alert scores

Reports arrive in your inbox automatically, so you never have to remember to check. They're formatted for easy scanning — you can spot problems in seconds and drill down when needed.

Dashboard Report Access

All your reports are archived in the Watchman Tower dashboard. Access any past report instantly, compare performance across weeks, or generate custom reports for specific time periods.

Filter and Customize

Use advanced metric filters to focus on what matters:

• Filter by uptime percentage ranges
• Set response time thresholds (average and P95)
• Focus on sites with down events
• Filter by total check counts

Create custom views for different stakeholders — show executives high-level summaries while technical teams get detailed metrics.

Summary Statistics

See aggregated data across all selected reports:

• Average uptime with range indicators
• Average response time and P95 percentiles
• Total down events across your infrastructure
• Total checks performed for data confidence

Individual Site Reports

Every monitored site gets its own detailed report page showing:

• Uptime percentage for the selected period
• Response times (average and P95) to catch slow performance
• Down events count with incident details
• Total checks showing monitoring frequency
• Protocol and timestamp for full transparency

Use individual reports to investigate specific sites, share status updates with clients, or document reliability for compliance purposes.

Why Reports Matter

Real-time alerts tell you when something breaks. Reports tell you how often things break, how fast your sites run, and whether your infrastructure is improving or degrading over time.

Reports help you:

• Spot trends before they become emergencies
• Validate improvements after infrastructure changes
• Document reliability for SLAs and stakeholder updates
• Prioritize fixes based on actual impact, not just noise
• Save time by reviewing summaries instead of raw logs

How It Works

1. Set up your monitors — Watchman Tower tracks uptime, response times, SSL certificates, and domains
2. Receive weekly reports — Every week, get a comprehensive email summary
3. Review at a glance — See which sites are healthy and which need attention
4. Drill down when needed — Access detailed reports in your dashboard
5. Filter and customize — Create focused views for different audiences

No configuration needed. Reports start automatically when you add monitors. Customize delivery preferences anytime from your account settings.

Combine Reports with Real-Time Monitoring

Reports complement your real-time alerts. While uptime monitoring notifies you instantly when sites go down, reports show you the bigger picture — trends, patterns, and performance over time.

Pair reports with:

• SSL certificate monitoring to track expiration dates across all sites
• Domain expiration monitoring to avoid losing domains
• Server monitoring to correlate performance issues with resource usage

Together, they give you complete visibility: real-time awareness when things break, historical context to prevent future issues.
