Monitoring behind a login that watches what customers pay for.
Normal monitoring stops at the login form — so the part customers actually pay for goes unwatched. Uptimia signs in like a real user and checks that the pages behind it still work, then shows you the exact step that broke, with a screenshot.

Every page behind the login
From the sign-in itself to the dashboard, the billing portal and the admin console — each page is reached by signing in first, and any failed step opens an incident.
Build the sign-in in your browser
Click together the steps a real user takes to get in — open the login page, type the email, type the password, submit, and check the dashboard rendered. A live screenshot updates as you build.
- Start from the Login template — it drops in all five steps, down to the check that the app loaded
- A masked password field — a dedicated step type that hides the value as you type it
- Test the sign-in live — a broken step goes red and snaps the preview to its screenshot
Evidence, timing and alerting
See where sign-in broke
When sign-in fails, the whole run is laid out for you — each step in order, the one that broke flagged red, and the browser's own screenshot of the moment it stalled.
- The failing step's screenshot — the exact frame sign-in stalled on
- The step that broke in red, with each one after it shown as "not run"
- Each bar offset by when its step began — the sign-in reads like a waterfall
Find the slow step
"Signing in feels slow" is just a feeling until you can name the step. Uptimia times each one, so you can see the auth redirect is the drag — and fix that, not the whole page.
- Each step sorted by how long it averages — plus the slice of the sign-in it owns
- The five slowest steps stacked over time, each with its own trend sparkline
- Slowest runs shown beside the average — so a sign-in that only drags on bad days still surfaces
The whole sign-in at a glance
One strip settles the real questions: can people get in this minute, how dependable has sign-in been lately, and where the seconds go.
- Status, availability and incident count across the top — sign-in health on one line
- Average and slowest run times alongside the step count for the whole sign-in
- The slowest step named by number and action, beside how often the check fires
Get told the second sign-in breaks
The second a step fails, the alert reaches your team where they already look — Slack, PagerDuty, WhatsApp, email and the rest. Once a later sign-in completes, the recovery notice follows.
- The contact list you already built — shared with every Uptimia monitor, configured once
- The broken step spelled out in the alert — which step, and the reason
- An all-clear message as soon as a later run signs in cleanly

How monitoring behind a login works
Build the sign-in in minutes — the checks run from Uptimia's browsers, you never touch your app.
Build the sign-in
Start from the Login template, then click together the steps a user takes to get in — open the page, type the email, type the password, submit, check the dashboard.
Test it, then save
"Test all steps" signs in for real against a live browser. Anything that breaks turns red and surfaces its screenshot — you catch it before you ever save.
Get alerted when sign-in breaks
Uptimia signs in again on your schedule. The first step to break raises a single incident and pages your team, the screenshot of that step attached.
Also in the box
Logins that aren't a simple form
A cookie banner in the way, an email-first screen that asks for the password on the next page, a "remember me" box, a field your app added — click each one into the flow, then say what has to be on the screen once you're in.
Assertions
Check you actually landed on the dashboard — not just that the login page loaded.
Templates to start from
Login drops in five steps — URL, email, masked password, submit, and a check on the page you land on.
Basic-Auth endpoints
For a page behind HTTP Basic Auth or a fixed token, a plain uptime monitor stores the credentials or header and checks it every run — no scripted sign-in needed.
Maintenance windows
A deploy window keeps planned work from paging anyone.
One dashboard for everything
Signed-in checks sit beside uptime, SSL, speed, DNS and heartbeat monitors — same contacts, groups and roles.
Alerts where your team already works
Signed-in checks use the same contacts and channels as everything else you monitor with Uptimia.
Microsoft Teams12 channels, one contact list — set it once, every check you run uses it.

Monitoring behind a login is an automated check that signs in to your application on a schedule and confirms the pages behind the login actually work — the dashboard, the account area, the admin panel — not just that the public login page loads. There are two ways to reach a protected page: an endpoint behind HTTP Basic Auth or a fixed token can be watched by an authenticated uptime check, while a real login form is driven by a transaction monitor that fills it in, submits, and asserts the app loaded.
How does it sign in?
Each run opens the login page, types a dedicated test account's email and password, submits, and checks the dashboard rendered — recording the timing, and a screenshot if it fails.
Capture, then alert
step 4 · click "Sign in" · dashboard never loaded → incident opens, alerts go out
Public check vs. signed-in check
The login page can look perfectly healthy while nobody can actually get in. A public check sees it load and stops there; a signed-in check goes through sign-in and tests the pages behind it.
Compare public & signed-in monitoring →| What happens | Public check | Signed-in check |
|---|---|---|
| Login page loads normally | ✓ Up | ✓ Up |
| Sign-in button throws a JS error | ✓ Looks up | ✗ Caught |
| Dashboard 500s only when logged in | ✓ Page loads | ✗ Caught |
| Session drops right after login | ✓ Looks up | ✗ Caught |
| "Members" area loads empty | ✓ Looks up | ✗ Caught |
