404 Not Found

The requested path was not found, even though the domain itself may still be reachable.

What 404 means for a monitor

Statixoup records an incident when 404 does not match the monitor's expected status code. Confirm the response before changing monitor rules.

Troubleshooting checklist

  1. 1.

    Check 1

    Check the exact path and spelling.

  2. 2.

    Check 2

    Confirm the route exists in the current deployment.

  3. 3.

    Check 3

    Review redirects and base-path changes.

  4. 4.

    Check 4

    Update the URL only if the service moved intentionally.

After the service is fixed

  • Confirm the URL returns the expected status without a browser session.
  • Review response-time and incident history for the recovery.
  • Change Expected status code only when the different response is intentional.

Avoid hiding a real outage

Changing the expected code can make an unhealthy response appear operational. Fix the service first whenever the response is unexpected.
