Django Monitoring
Uptime, Celery health, and 500-rate monitoring for Django sites.
What typically breaks on Django
- ALLOWED_HOSTS misconfig after custom domain switch (DisallowedHost)
- Celery worker idle while tasks pile up in Redis
- Static files 404 because collectstatic skipped in CI
What Lemwatch checks on every Django site
HTTP uptime
1-minute checks from multiple regions. We catch Django-specific 5xx errors, not just connection timeouts.
Response time + Core Web Vitals
TTFB, LCP, CLS, INP tracked over time. Alerts fire when the rolling baseline degrades, not just on hard outages.
Content integrity
We diff your homepage HTML and key routes. Catch silent deploys that strip critical content or break routing.
SSL + DNS drift
Cert expiry warnings 30 days out. DNS hash watch alerts when A/CNAME/MX records change unexpectedly.
Works with where you deploy Django
Lemwatch monitors the public surface, so it doesn't care which host you use. Common Django hosting stacks we see in the wild:
How we detect Django
When you add a site, Lemwatch fingerprints the stack from the public response — in Django's case, by looking for csrfmiddlewaretoken hidden input and sessionid cookie. Detection is non-invasive and runs on every health check, so a stack migration surfaces in your changelog within 24 hours.
Django monitoring — FAQs
No. Lemwatch is fully black-box — it monitors what every visitor sees. No code access, no plugin install, no SDK. Add your domain and checks start within a minute.
Yes. Add the preview URL as a separate site. Lemwatch treats it independently, so flaky previews don't pollute the production status board.
The Free plan covers 10 sites with 5-minute checks. The Pro plan ($19/mo) bumps frequency to 1 minute and unlocks Core Web Vitals tracking, screenshot diffs, and unlimited notification channels.
Both. We watch for 5xx rate spikes, response-time regressions vs. baseline, content diff anomalies (missing H1, blank body), and certificate / DNS shifts — not just up/down.
