In a couple of previous blog posts , I showed you how to add multiple locations for a new website monitor.  The advantage of using multi-location is to get first-hand information on how well your website or web-based application performs in front of a worldwide audience. In this blog post, I shall demonstrate how to monitor your current website from multiple locations.

1. Log into Site24x7.

2. Select the website you wish add more locations or change those locations to a different one and click on 'Edit Details' link.



3. Under 'Secondary Location' option chose the locations you wish to monitor your website.



4. Click on 'Update' button at the bottom of the page and then presto! - You have added new locations to your website monitor.

Now, if you go back to the particular monitor for which you added new locations, it will display updated global status of your website from those locations.




You can further drill-down by clicking on each location response time. You can either email this report to yourself or download it in CSV format.

So, if you plan on monitoring your website from different locations, here's how you do it. Wanna try? Head to Site24x7 and start monitoring. If you do not have an account, it is pretty simple to sign up as well!

When users search for a good website monitoring solution, one of the points in their checklist is whether the solution can monitor websites from multiple locations. This not only allows them to understand the availability and performance of their website, but also look at the end-user experience of their website from around the world. They enables them to fine tune the performance of their website based on availability and response time reports.

In this blog post, I will quickly run through the steps how to monitor a website and enable monitoring from multiple locations.

Adding multi-location monitoring for new websites :

Log into Site24x7 or if you do not have access, create an account now.

Click on 'New Monitor' pull-down menu, and select 'Website'.



Enter the label of the website, its address, whether you would like to associate this website with a monitor group. Select the frequency of the website you wish to monitor, the timeout, the default primary location.  You can set the polling interval as low as 1 minute to as high as 60 minutes or more.
