PathWatch Documentation

Production-grade monitoring without the per-check pricing roulette.
Quickstart REST API reference

What PathWatch monitors

  • Uptime checks — HTTP/HTTPS, keyword, port (TCP), ping, DNS, SSL certificate, domain expiration, heartbeat.
  • Browser Lite checks — Real browser runs against a single page across Chromium, Firefox and WebKit.
  • Browser Flow checks — Multi-step user journeys (sign-in, checkout) with assertions per step.
  • Status pages — Public + private, custom domains, password protection, scheduled maintenance windows.

Who this site is for

These public docs cover everything you can configure from the PathWatch web app or REST API.

Advanced topics — TechDocs

Some features sit one layer deeper than the web app. We keep documentation for them on a separate site, techdocs.pathwatch.app, behind a sign-in:

  • Self-hosted runners — Docker deployment, scaling, troubleshooting.
  • Air-gapped installs — running PathWatch checks without outbound internet.
  • Security architecture — runner ↔ API encryption, image hardening, sub-processor list.
  • Runner protocol — wire-level reference for partners building a custom runner.

TechDocs requires an active paid subscription — start a Starter plan (or any higher tier) and you’ll have access immediately.
