Description

I monitor around 10 websites, and every day I receive alerts saying that some of the sites are down. I immediately access the site, and it’s up. I check the server logs, and there are no errors or outages. The next minute, I receive an alert saying the site is back online.

I’ve tested using other monitoring tools, and none of them trigger alerts — only Tianji does. This happens with several of my websites and systems, on different servers. In other words, it marks them as down and then back online the next minute, even though the site never actually went offline.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by reproducing the website monitor's down-and-back-online alerts across several sites, then trace the uptime-check and alerting path. Done means the monitor no longer reports false outages while still detecting genuine downtime.
