Website Monitoring CLI

Website Monitoring CLI for Developers

MonitorMojo provides a website monitoring CLI for running health checks from the command line. Integrate checks into scripts, cron jobs, or automation workflows.

The Problem

Small misses turn into public failures fast.

Switching to a browser breaks terminal flow

Checking a site's status shouldn't mean tabbing out of the terminal into a dashboard and back.

Writing your own API client takes setup

Calling a REST API directly means handling authentication and response parsing yourself before you've run a single check.

Cron jobs and scripts need a command, not a UI

A scheduled job or shell script needs something it can invoke directly, not a page to click through.

How It Works

1

Add your domain

Enter the website, subdomain, or client property you need to protect.

2

MonitorMojo checks it

Run a real reachability, HTTPS/SSL, response time, and configured health check.

3

Review what needs attention

Use the returned signals to decide what to fix before a browser error or complaint.

Features

Website health checks built for the signals teams forget until they hurt.

terminal

One command, full check

Run a complete health check — reachability, SSL, response time, security headers — with a single CLI command.

code

Scriptable output

Get output formatted for piping into other commands or parsing in a shell script.

schedule

Cron-friendly

Drop a check straight into a cron job or scheduled task without writing a wrapper script first.

api

Backed by the same API

The CLI is a thin wrapper over the public API, so anything scriptable through the API works through the CLI.

history

Results saved automatically

Every CLI-triggered check is saved to your check history, same as one run from the dashboard.

search_check

Fast local workflow

Check a site's health without leaving the terminal you're already working in.

Who This Is For

Built for teams closest to the website.

Developers who live in the terminal

Check a site's health without switching context to a browser.

Teams writing shell scripts or cron jobs

Add a health check as a single command inside an existing script.

Anyone who'd rather not write a raw API client

Get CLI-level convenience without building your own HTTP wrapper first.

Why MonitorMojo

Simple checks for real website risk.

Built as a real CLI, not a wrapper afterthought

The CLI is designed for actual terminal and scripting use, not a minimal afterthought bolted onto the API.

Credit-based pricing

Pay for checks the CLI actually triggers, whether that's one a day or one per deploy.

Same checks, same results

A CLI-triggered check returns the identical result format as one run from the dashboard or API.

Workflow Guide

What this workflow means

Website monitoring CLI that enables developers to run health checks from the command line, integrate checks into scripts, and automate website monitoring workflows.

In practice, that means reviewing API, CLI, and AI-agent checks that retrieve website health context for human-reviewed workflows from one repeatable process instead of waiting for developers and AI-agent builders to hear about a problem secondhand. A check can show whether a URL is reachable, whether SSL appears valid, how quickly the server responds, and whether selected headers are present — it does not replace a security audit or an incident-response team, but it makes the underlying signals visible before they turn into a bigger issue.

Who should use this

This is built for developers and AI-agent builders — specifically for the moment of scripting a check into a deploy pipeline or agent workflow. Checking a site's status shouldn't mean tabbing out of the terminal into a dashboard and back. The same workflow is reusable by anyone with a public URL tied to revenue, leads, or reputation.

Detailed step-by-step workflow

Start by listing the URLs that actually matter for scripting a check into a deploy pipeline or agent workflow — not every page on the site, just the ones tied to revenue, signups, or trust. Define the check types for each: reachability, HTTP status, HTTPS/SSL status and expiry window, response time, redirects, and security header presence.

Set a cadence that matches the risk: a monthly review for low-traffic pages, a check right after every deploy for anything tied to revenue. When something fails, triage before assuming cause — hosting, DNS, SSL, code, cache, or a third-party script could all be responsible. Record an owner and a next review date, then re-check after the fix ships.

Checklist and template

Use this template for every review: [URL], [Check Type], [Status], [Issue], [Priority], [Owner], [Detected Date], [Next Review Date]. Describe what the check observed before assigning a root cause — 'response time increased' is a fact, 'hosting is the problem' is a guess until confirmed.

For a recurring report, group findings by reachability, SSL, response time, and security headers, and say plainly when a signal showed no issue rather than implying full coverage.

Common mistakes

The most common miss for developers and AI-agent builders is checking only the homepage while a checkout, signup, or booking flow silently breaks. A close second is assuming SSL auto-renewal always works — it can fail quietly, and an external check is the only way to catch it before a browser warning does. The biggest framing mistake is treating one clean check as proof the whole site is covered.

Practical example

Picture scripting a check into a deploy pipeline or agent workflow. A scheduled check flags that a key page is slower than its usual baseline and a security header is missing. Run a complete health check — reachability, SSL, response time, security headers — with a single CLI command. Instead of guessing, the team logs the observation, assigns an owner, and re-checks after the fix — turning "something feels off" into a closed-loop task with a timestamp attached.

How MonitorMojo helps

MonitorMojo runs the checks behind website monitoring cli for developers — reachability, SSL, response time, and security headers — from one dashboard, with an API and CLI for teams that want it scripted into an existing workflow. Credit-based checks make it practical to run a review exactly when it matters: before a client call, after a deploy, or the moment someone asks whether the site is healthy.

FAQ

Questions teams ask before they check website health.

What can I check with the CLI?

The same full health check available elsewhere — reachability, SSL, response time, and security headers — run with a single command.

Can I use the CLI in a cron job or shell script?

Yes. Output is designed to be scriptable, so it fits directly into a cron job, CI step, or shell script without extra wrapping.

Is the CLI different from the API in what it can do?

No. The CLI is a thin wrapper over the same public API, so anything scriptable through the API is available through the CLI.

Are CLI-triggered checks saved like dashboard ones?

Yes. Every check run through the CLI is saved to your check history the same way a dashboard-triggered check is.

Where do I find CLI installation and command reference?

Full CLI documentation, including installation and command reference, is available at /cli.
