Website monitoring · built for web agencies
Kockpit watches the websites your agency looks after, from uptime and certificates to domains, DNS and SEO, and keeps the retainers that pay for them on the same screen. Because an agency's job is not the same job an ops team has.
The mismatch
Uptime tools were built for the people who own the servers.
You don't own these sites. You look after them: dozens of them, on hosting you didn't pick, for clients who pay you monthly and expect you to already know when something is wrong.
So the generic monitor tells you a site is down. It can't tell you which client that is, who to email, whether their certificate lapses next week, or whether you've already burned this month's hours on them.
That answer usually lives in a spreadsheet. Kockpit is what happens when it doesn't have to.
One screen, two halves
What's happening
Five-minute checks, incidents captured with a screenshot of what the visitor actually saw, and every expiry date read straight from the registry.
What it's worth
Retainers, logged hours against the allowance you agreed, and what is collectible this month, attached to the very sites being watched.
Illustrative figures. Currency, thresholds and billing cycles are yours to set.
Every night, every site
Uptime runs every five minutes. The rest runs nightly, and any of it can be re-run on a single site the moment you need an answer.
The details that only matter to us
Alerting
Down and recovered arrive immediately. Everything else waits for one daily digest: a nameserver that moved, a title that changed, a certificate coming due.
And one unusual one
Every morning Kockpit emails you its own health: whether the checks ran, whether the digest drained, whether every site has someone to alert. It sends even when everything is fine, on purpose.
A monitor that has quietly died looks exactly like a month with no problems. If the heartbeat stops arriving, that silence is the alert.
Pricing
Kockpit runs an agency's own portfolio today, and is opening to a small number of other agencies first. Pricing will be published before general availability, and early participants will be told exactly what it is before anything is charged.
How early access worksFrom the guides
Watching client sites is half the job. Charging properly for it is the other half. These are written for the agency running that business, whether or not it ever uses Kockpit.
Guide
What clients think they are buying, what to actually include, what to charge, and the checklist to run every month.
Guide
Tiers that make sense, numbers that hold up, the work each tier must exclude, and when to raise the price.
Early access
Tell us roughly how many sites you look after and what you use today. We're onboarding a handful of agencies at a time so each one gets set up properly.
