  • An endpoint behind a reverse proxy

How it connects

  • Username / passwordSent as HTTP basic authentication.
  • Bearer tokenSent as "Authorization: Bearer …" on every request.

No account needed.

Default port: 443

Setup steps: Monitor a WebSocket endpoint
  1. In DumbMonit, paste the full endpoint, for example wss://home.example.com/api/websocket (wss is assumed without a scheme).

  2. Optional: fill in Expected content with a fragment of the first frame the server sends by itself.

  3. Optional: if the endpoint says nothing until spoken to, put a message in Frame to send, and what the answer must contain in Expected content.

Heads-up. The check hangs up within a second: a connection that a firewall or proxy cuts after thirty seconds looks healthy here.
