# Spectate features

## [Uptime monitoring](https://spectate.net/features/uptime-monitoring)

Spectate checks your websites, APIs, ports, DNS records and mail servers every 30s or 60s, rechecks before it alerts, and keeps a screenshot and the response when a website goes down.

## [Server monitoring](https://spectate.net/features/server-monitoring)

Install the open-source Spectate agent with one command and see CPU, memory, disks and network every 15 seconds, with alerts when a metric stays over its threshold or a host goes quiet.

## [SSL certificates](https://spectate.net/features/ssl-monitoring)

Spectate checks the full certificate chain your server sends, warns 14 days before anything in it expires, and tells you when a certificate is untrusted, self-signed or issued for another name.

## [Domains](https://spectate.net/features/domain-monitoring)

Spectate looks up each domain in the registry every 6 hours, warns 30 days before it expires and tells you when its registrar, nameservers or DNSSEC keys change.

## [Alerting](https://spectate.net/features/alerting)

Escalation paths decide who hears about what: notify a channel, wait, page whoever is on call, branch on severity or working hours. Acknowledge once and the escalation stops.

## [On-call](https://spectate.net/features/on-call)

Schedules with rotations and overrides, pages by SMS and phone call with press 1 to acknowledge, and no per-seat fees: Team and Business include unlimited members.

## [Incident management](https://spectate.net/features/incident-management)

Declare an incident from the dashboard, from Slack or straight from an alert. Assign a commander, post updates, keep customers informed on your status page and write the postmortem in one place.

## [Status pages](https://spectate.net/features/status-pages)

Show live status from your monitors and incidents on your own domain, in your brand and in your visitors' language, and email subscribers when something changes.
