Missing Monitis features

Sinds Monitis is going away, im testing TeamViewer WebMonitoring.
Many things are still missing. But the most important to me are:

API access to read the monitor results for our internal dashboard
SMS alerts

This are a deal breaker for me.

Other small missing features are things like:

More server locations (Amsterdam, ..)
Check for string on a page (some error pages also return HTTP Code 200)
Other services uptime monitoring (FTP, SMTP, ...)

Are any these coming soon by any chance?

Hi SkillSource

Thanks for testing the Web Monitoring.

As you mentioned, yes many things are still missing but are working to have them in Web Monitoring. Concerning the features you have mentioned;

We plan to have API that will allow to interact with the Web Monitoring
SMS notifications are very important and this will come in nearest future
The number of supported locations eventually will be more than 30 and Amsterdam is among them
Content matching (string check) for Uptime monitors - will be relaesed in nearest future
We also plan to support the other protocols like TCP, FTP and etc.

I am a current Monitis customer and the TeamViewer Web Monitoring tool is lacking a significant amount of functionality that is present in the Monitis service (such as, for example, the ability to monitor uptime on any type of device, not just web sites.) I have monitors for TCP listening ports, SFTP servers, etc. It does NONE of this. Finally Monitis offers the ability to check for a response string, returned during a web connection test. TeamViewer Web Monitoring doesn't do this EITHER. You guys should be absolutely ashamed of yourselves for expecting happy Monitis customers to transition to this half-assed piece of **bleep**. I'll be switching to another service for monitoring. Did you even look at what functionality Monitis offers when you put together this "replacement"? Clearly you did not. The fact you call this a complete release from Beta is laughable. It's a major step backwards for your existing Monitis customers. Its insulting.

I need Secure Shell (SSH) monitors too. I am still using them in Monitis but they were not included in the import from Monitis and apparently I cannot manually recreate them. Will I be able to use SSH monitors?

Hi rdefulio

Thanks for using Monitis!

The TCP and SFTP monitors you have in Monitis, those are in our Plans also to have the in TeamViewer Web Monitoring.

The response string check or Content matching functionality for Uptime monitors will be released this month
