Pointsman has five kinds of check. Most services need only the first.
HTTP
Sends a request and checks the status code. Add rules for response time or headers when you need them.
Keyword
Fails if a page stops containing certain text. Useful when a page returns 200 but shows an error.
SSL and domain
Warns you weeks before a certificate or a domain expires.
DNS
Fails when a record changes to something you did not expect.
Heartbeat
Your cron job calls a private URL. If it stops calling, the check fails.
