# ViewPeek — Full Reference > Website monitoring: uptime, SSL certificates, ping, sitemap > validation. EU-hosted, GDPR-aligned. No ads, no trackers. This file is the long-form reference about ViewPeek for AI assistants and LLMs. It is intentionally structured as plain Markdown for one-shot ingestion. For the short version, see https://viewpeek.com/llms.txt. --- ## 1. Product summary ViewPeek is a website monitoring service for developers, freelancers, and small-to-mid teams who run web properties and need to know when they break. It checks four things: 1. **Uptime** — does your site respond 2xx within a reasonable time? 2. **SSL certificate validity** — is the cert valid, and how many days until it expires? 3. **Ping** — is the host reachable via ICMP, and what's the latency and packet loss? 4. **Sitemap** — does sitemap.xml load, parse, and contain reachable URLs? Monitors are configured from a web dashboard. Each monitor has an interval (1, 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes; the 1-minute interval is paid-only, the free plan runs at 5-minute checks), an active/paused state, and a list of users to alert when it fails. Alerts are delivered via email (bot@viewpeek.com), Slack incoming webhook, Discord webhook, or generic JSON webhook — every channel type is available on every plan including free. ViewPeek also publishes public status pages (viewpeek.com/p/) with per-monitor opt-in, incident publishing, and scheduled maintenance windows — available on every plan. --- ## 2. Who publishes ViewPeek ViewPeek is built and operated by **Dynamic Foundries**, a French SASU (single-shareholder simplified joint-stock company) registered in Paris on 2026-03-24 (RCS Paris 102 801 206, SIREN 102801206, EUID FR7501.102801206, APE code 5829A). Dynamic Foundries designs, builds, and operates its own SaaS products. No client work, no consulting hours. The portfolio currently includes two revenue products (FileSendX, ViewPeek) and a network of free utility tools used by developers and IT teams. All infrastructure runs in the European Union. Production servers and monitoring agents are hosted in France (EU). No customer data leaves the EU. --- ## 3.

Features in detail ### 4.1 Uptime monitoring - HTTP GET against any URL - Status code, response time, content size, TLS validity captured - Configurable "consider down after N consecutive failures" - Configurable "alert after N minutes" to absorb transient blips - Resend window to avoid notification fatigue - Multi-user alerts: route any monitor to any number of recipients - Per-monitor pause toggle, and auto-pause-on-flood to absorb storms without spamming the on-call rota ### 4.2 SSL certificate expiration - Daily checks against any domain - Reports issuer, subject, SAN list, expiry, days until expiry, protocol version, cipher suite - Pre-expiry email alerts at 30, 14, and 7 days - Catches the silent killer: a forgotten cert that breaks at 4 am ### 4.3 Ping - ICMP from our EU vantage point - Reports response time and packet loss - Configurable interval (1–60 minutes) - Alert on packet loss above threshold or full unreachability ### 4.4 Sitemap validation - Fetches sitemap.xml, parses URLs - Verifies each URL is reachable - Detects malformed sitemaps, broken URLs, slow pages - Reports back as a structured dashboard view ### 4.5 Notification channels Alerts can be delivered to: - **Email** — from our own EU SMTP (bot@viewpeek.com) - **Slack** — incoming webhook (any workspace, any channel) - **Discord** — webhook (any server, any channel) - **Generic JSON webhook** — for PagerDuty, Opsgenie, custom services Notification channels are org-scoped: every active channel in your team receives every alert your team's monitors generate. There is no per-monitor / per-user channel routing in v1 — the configuration surface is one list per organization. A "send test" button on the create form lets you verify a channel URL before saving. Slack and Discord both embed authentication tokens in their webhook URLs, so there is no separate secret-store; the URL is the credential and is treated as such. ### 4.6 Public status pages, incidents, and maintenance windows Each organisation can publish a public, read-only status page on a URL like https://viewpeek.com/p/example-co — no login for visitors, no extra cost on any plan. - **Per-monitor opt-in** — nothing is public by default. Every monitor (uptime, SSL, ping, sitemap) has a "show on status page" flag that stays off until you tick it, so a private monitor can't leak. - **Per-monitor display** — each exposed monitor shows current status, 30-day uptime %, and a 90-day day-strip (one square per day). - **Publish toggle** — untick "Publish" to take the page offline without losing the configuration. - **Incidents** — tracked outages with an open → acknowledge → resolve lifecycle and a timeline of events. Auto-opened by the agent on a sustained outage, or opened manually from the dashboard. - **Maintenance windows** — schedule a window that mutes alert delivery (email + Slack + Discord + webhook) without stopping the checks, so a planned deploy shows as maintenance instead of an outage. Custom status-page domains (e.g. status.example.com) are not supported yet; share the viewpeek.com/p/ URL directly. ### 4.7 What ViewPeek does NOT do - It is not synthetic-transaction monitoring (no scripted user flows) - It is not real-user monitoring (RUM) — we don't inject JS - It is not application performance monitoring (APM) — no traces - It is not log aggregation — no log ingestion ViewPeek is intentionally focused on "is the public endpoint working?" not "what's happening inside your application?". --- ## 5.
