This reports provides a comparison chart of the response times of your sites as well as their hourly average in milliseconds. If you are managing multiple websites, this report is very useful way to compare their performances and know which one performed better over a period of time.
Reports over a custom time period
Site24x7 stores your website monitoring data from the day you add it for monitoring. All the reports, including availability and response time reports, can be viewed over a period of time. There are a multitude of time ranges available by default. You can choose any of these or specify the exact 'From and To' dates.
Reports through email
Site24x7 reports section also gives you the option of sending reports through email. You can choose to send reports for any website or web application you are monitoring.
I believe this series of articles have given you an overview of the Reports section and were helpful to clear some of your doubts. If you have any questions, please contact support@site24x7.com
How can we enhance the reports section and make it more comprehensive? What else would you like to see in the Reports section? Pour in your suggestions.
Response time reports can be viewed for each website individually.
From the historical data section, you can find out the Response time details for your site at different times as well as segmented by hour of the day.
Response time report segmented by hour of the day
Based on these reports, you can get an idea about the performance of your websites and web applications over different periods of time.
Before I sign off, here is a look at one question about response time that is frequently asked:
How do you define "response time"? Do you download the entire page and count the time until everything has loaded? Or just the time until the server responds?
Response time is the time taken to get the full html output from the server.
However, it does not include getting the images and other resources that are loaded within the html page.When your site goes down, you want to know about it as soon as possible. Ideally, you'd detect that something was going badly before a failure occurred, using monit or similar software running on your server. (See my article on Installing monit for Server Peace of Mind for details.) But some failures just aren't detectable in advance. Furthermore, if the failure brings down your server entirely, or is in the connectivity to the server, no software running on your server will be able to notify you.
Fortunately, there's a simple and inexpensive solution: third-party monitoring services that periodically retrieve a page from your server and send you an alert if it fails. There are many such services, most of which have a limited free option and a variety of paid plans.Michael says Site24x7 is his current favorite service and has also written a small review of Site24x7.
My current favorite is site24x7. It has a rich set of features and flexible, reasonable pricing. The free plan will test two URLs every 60 minutes. With the paid plans, you can test as frequently as every 5 minutes (for $4/month per URL). The faster you poll, the more it costs, so you can decide for each site how critical it is to know right away, and how much you�re willing to pay to find out quickly. You can also get status reports via RSS
Assuming you're running a dynamic site, it�s not enough to know that the server responded to the page request; you want to ensure that the database and the application server are running. The simple way to do this is to have the service look for certain keywords on the retrieved page. As long as these keywords come from the database, this test gives you pretty good assurance that your application is running and is able to talk to the database. site24x7 offers this ability even on the free plan. On the paid plan, you can also test a web application using a series of URLs to step through a sequence of operations. It will even provide login credentials to the application if neededHe also gives a partial list of other similar services available such as Hyperspin, SiteUptime, etc. Thanks for mentioning us in the post, Michael! This article will be especially helpful for any business or website owner who is looking forward to use an external website monitoring service to track his websites. Read full article

The Reports section gives the following types of reports
The main benefit of this report is that you get to see the downtime stats of all your websites at a glance.
For example, in the above sample image, we can see that the website labeled 'mydomain' had some downtime while three other websites did not experience any downtime during the last 24 hours.
Availability reports can also be viewed for each website individually.
From the historical data section, you can find out the exact start and end time of your website's unavailability as well as the duration of the downtime.
This section provides you with empirical knowledge of your website downtime and you know exactly how many times your sites went down over a given time period.
I believe this post provided an overview of Availability Reports section and also helped to clear up some of your doubts. If you have any questions, please mail to support@site24x7.com and I'll answer those when I write the second part of the 'Report Overview' series.
