WHAT IS PULSEBOARD
There is no worse way to learn your website is down than from an angry customer message, a support ticket, or a social media complaint. By the time someone tells you, the damage is already happening — leads lost, transactions failing, trust eroding.
Pulseboard eliminates that scenario entirely. It is a real-time uptime monitoring platform built by HMMBiz that watches your websites and APIs around the clock — every minute if needed — and alerts your team the instant something goes wrong. Before any user notices. Before any ticket arrives.
Built on Node.js and SQLite, Pulseboard is lightweight, self-hostable, and free of vendor lock-in. It is designed for developers, DevOps teams, and business owners who want reliable infrastructure visibility without the complexity or cost of bloated enterprise monitoring tools.
LIVE SITE STATUS — API.ABCDX.COM
ALERT FIRED — 14:32:09 UTC
"api.abcdx.com is DOWN. Detected at 14:32:07 UTC. Team notified via Email and Google Chat."
CORE FEATURES
Pulseboard pings your websites and APIs on a continuous, configurable schedule — every 1 to 60 minutes, depending on how critical the endpoint is. It tracks every single response, logs the result, and builds a complete status history so you always have a record of what happened and when. HTTP and HTTPS are both fully supported, with configurable expected status codes per endpoint.
The moment a monitored site or API transitions from up to down, Pulseboard fires an alert. Notifications go out via email and Google Chat webhooks — so your team is reached wherever they work. Critically, alerts only fire on genuine state changes — up to down and down to up — so there is no alert fatigue from repeated notifications on an already-known issue.
Pulseboard does not just tell you whether a site is up — it tracks how fast it is responding. Every check logs the response time to millisecond precision. Sparkline charts show the last 50 checks at a glance, making it easy to spot a slowdown trend before it becomes a full outage. Performance degradation is visible long before users feel it.
The Pulseboard dashboard is your real-time command centre. At a glance it shows the total number of monitored sites, how many are currently operational, how many are down, and how many have an unknown status. Each site card displays the current uptime percentage, the last-checked timestamp, and a historical status timeline — so context is always one screen away.
Pulseboard supports fully isolated workspaces for different teams or clients. Each workspace has its own monitored sites, its own team members, and its own notification settings. Teams working on separate projects or products stay completely separated — no cross-team data visibility, no accidental configuration overlap.
Not everyone on the team needs the same level of access. Pulseboard supports three access levels — owner, admin, and viewer. Owners manage workspace settings and billing. Admins handle site configuration and team invitations. Viewers get read-only access to dashboards and status data. The right people see the right things, and accidental changes are structurally prevented.
Every action taken within a Pulseboard workspace is logged — who did it, what they changed, and when it happened. Audit logs give teams complete accountability across site additions, deletions, setting changes, and member activity. For businesses in regulated industries or with compliance requirements, this is not a nice-to-have — it is essential.
Pulseboard is built to send signal, not noise. Alerts only fire when the status of a monitored endpoint genuinely changes — from operational to down, or from down back to operational. Repeat pings on an already-down site do not generate repeat alerts. Your team gets notified once when something breaks and once when it recovers — nothing more.
Pulseboard supports both dark and light mode — switching to whichever suits your team's working environment. For teams managing large numbers of endpoints, bulk site management lets you add, configure, and organise sites with custom tags and filters rather than managing them one by one. A practical tool for teams with practical constraints.
BUILT DIFFERENT
Enterprise monitoring platforms like Datadog, Pingdom, or UptimeRobot come with pricing models that scale against you — per-check pricing, per-user fees, or monthly costs that grow with your infrastructure. Pulseboard is built differently.
Because it is self-hosted, there is no usage-based billing tied to the number of sites you monitor or the frequency of checks. Your data stays on your server. Your team has full control over the configuration. And because it is built and maintained by the HMMBiz engineering team — the same team that manages infrastructure for 650+ client businesses — every feature reflects a real operational need.
Pulseboard is not trying to be a full observability suite. It is focused on doing one thing exceptionally well: telling your team when something is down before anyone else does.
