# Monitor Django sites

Uptime, Celery health, and 500-rate monitoring for Django sites.

## Common failure modes

- 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

## Typical hosts

- Render
- Heroku
- Railway
- self-hosted gunicorn
