Monitoring locations and IP guidance

Understand how FTStatus reports monitoring locations and what can safely be shared publicly.

HTTPDNSSSLAPI

Logical locations stay public. Probe internals stay private.

Public pages can mention broad countries or regions.

Admin dashboards can show primary and backup probe mode.

Sensitive origin, provider, and firewall details stay private.

Watch the signal

Track the public evidence customers actually experience.

Measure the trend

Keep response, uptime, and incident context close to the decision.

Route the response

Alert the right people and publish customer-safe updates when needed.

Public location labels

Use simple labels such as country or region. Avoid publishing probe hostnames, SSH routes, or exact firewall allowlists.

Fallback behavior

The platform should accept one unified payload per logical location while retaining admin-only metadata about backup mode.

Downtime confidence

Customer-facing downtime should require quorum or repeated confirmation unless the failure is globally obvious.

Start with critical customer-facing services, then add status pages, alert routes, and managed help as reliability becomes more important.
