Moniliza – Uptime Monitor

Moniliza checks your website from outside your server, around the clock, and alerts you by email when it goes down. This plugin connects your WordPress site to your Moniliza account and shows its status where you already work: the WordPress dashboard.

What you get

• A one-click “Monitor this site” button. The plugin adds your site address to Moniliza (and does not add it twice).
• A dashboard widget with your site’s current status (up or down), the time of the last check, uptime over the last 100 checks and recent outages.
• An optional status dot in the admin bar.
• A connection test, so you know your API key works.

How it works

1. Create a free account at moniliza.app.
2. In Moniliza, open Account > API keys and create a key.
3. In WordPress, go to Settings > Moniliza, paste the key and click “Monitor this site”.

The plugin does nothing and contacts nobody until you save an API key. The free Moniliza plan includes 10 monitors, email alerts and commercial use. Checks, alerts and your full uptime history live on moniliza.app.

Alert channels depend on your Moniliza plan

The plugin works the same on every Moniliza plan and does not lock anything. Which alerts Moniliza sends is decided by your plan on moniliza.app: the Free plan sends email alerts; the Pro and Premium plans add Telegram, Slack and Discord alerts. See moniliza.app/pricing for current plans.

Moniliza is a separate service. See the “External services” section below for exactly what data this plugin sends.

External services

This plugin connects to the Moniliza service at https://moniliza.app to create and read uptime monitors for your site. A Moniliza account and API key are required. The plugin does not contact Moniliza until you save an API key.

What is sent and when

• When you click “Test connection”: a request to https://moniliza.app/api/v1/account with your API key. Moniliza answers with your plan name and monitor counts, which are shown on the settings screen.
• When you click “Monitor this site”: a request to https://moniliza.app/api/v1/monitors to list your monitors, and, if your site is not in the list, a request that sends your site address (the WordPress home URL) to create a monitor. Moniliza then requests that public address regularly to check that it responds. This is the purpose of the service.
• While an administrator views the WordPress dashboard (or any admin page when the optional admin bar dot is on): a request to https://moniliza.app/api/v1/monitors/{id} with your API key to read the monitor’s status, last check time, uptime and recent checks. The answer is cached for five minutes, so there is at most one such request every five minutes.

Every request includes your API key in an Authorization header and a User-Agent that names the plugin and its version. No data about your visitors, users, posts or settings is sent.
