Four regions have to agree
before we wake you.
PulseGuard checks your endpoints every 60 seconds from seven global regions. One region seeing a failure is a network blip, and we ignore it. When four regions independently agree, you get paged. Every alert you receive has already been confirmed four times over.
See PulseGuard in action
Watch how global surveillance and high-frequency checks prevent latency degradation and downtime incidents across your system.
Live Latency Grid
Probe endpoints dynamically. Run instant checks from global centers and view JSON payload structures.
Automated Dispatch
Connect channels effortlessly. Resolve complex outages by triggering webhook integrations and alerts.
Global Verification
Eliminate localized errors. Nodes cross-reference downtime signatures dynamically before triggering pages.
Sleep Mode5-Vector
If we call you at 3 AM, it's real. 5-vector verification filters 2-second blips and ISP hiccups so solo devs sleep through the noise.
Most false alarms are one region having a bad second.
A single monitoring server sees a dropped packet, a slow TLS handshake, a momentary route flap — and pages you at 3am. Your service was fine the entire time. Do that a few times and your team starts ignoring alerts, which is worse than having none at all.
PulseGuard never alerts on one opinion.
Seven regions, every 60 seconds
Every monitor is checked from all seven: Western and Eastern North America, Western and Eastern Europe, and three Asia-Pacific regions covering Japan and Korea, Southeast Asia, and wider APAC. Not a rotation — all seven, every cycle.
A failure triggers an immediate re-check
Before a failure counts toward anything, the region that saw it checks again straight away. Single dropped packets and one-off TLS timeouts die here, silently, without ever reaching your phone.
Four of seven must agree
Only when four regions independently confirm the failure do we open an incident. A region that's simply slow to respond is excluded from the count rather than counted as a failure — so one congested route can neither trigger an alert nor suppress one.
We tell you which kind of failure it is
Three regions failing while four succeed isn't an outage — it's regional degradation, usually a CDN edge or a geo-routing rule, and we label it that way. A majority failing is a global outage. Different problems deserve different alerts.
Worked verification examples
→ 3 of 6 counted. Below quorum. No page sent. Logged as regional degradation, Americas + Western Europe.
→ 6 of 7 confirm. Quorum met. Incident opened, on-call paged, status page updated.
Where we don't check from — yet
We check from North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific (including Tokyo and Sydney). We do not currently have sovereign probes in South America, Africa, or the Middle East.
We'd rather tell you that than pad a number. If your users are concentrated in those regions, a global outage will still page you — but region-specific problems there may not surface, and you should know that before you rely on us. Our live coverage, including what's coming, is on the locations page.
Why Engineering Teams Choose PulseGuard
Compare PulseGuard head-to-head against legacy uptime tools. Faster checks, broader global edge coverage, and native synthetic testing out of the box.
Note 1:Being straight with you: Checkly runs 22 locations to our 7, and Better Uptime's 3-of-4 quorum is a genuinely good design that solves the same problem we do. We think 4-of-7 across published, health-monitored regions is better — and unlike anyone else here, we publish enough detail for you to verify it yourself. Pingdom runs 100+ locations and still gets false-positive complaints, which is rather the point: the confirmation rule matters more than the count.
Note 2: Last verified August 2026 against vendor pricing pages and public documentation. Found something out of date? Tell us and we'll fix it.
