Welcome to Pulsar

Pulsar is a comprehensive monitoring solution for Magento stores. It provides real-time uptime monitoring, synthetic checkout flow testing, and intelligent alerting to help you keep your e-commerce site running smoothly.

What is Pulsar?​

Pulsar monitors your Magento store from multiple angles:

  • HTTP Checks - Monitor endpoint availability and response times
  • Browser Checks - Detect JavaScript errors and rendering issues
  • Checkout Flows - Simulate complete purchase journeys to catch payment integration issues
  • Third-Party Dependencies - Watch the external scripts your storefront relies on (consent CDNs, payment JS, widgets)
  • Consent Guard - Catch cookie banners that break and leak tracking without consent
  • DNS Monitoring - Alert on DNS record changes (possible hijack) and blocklist listings
  • Health Monitoring - Deep Magento internals via the Byte8_Pulsar extension (cron, indexers, queues, security, skimmer detection, and more)

Key Features​

Real-time Monitoring​

Pulsar checks your site on the interval you choose (as frequently as your plan allows) and confirms any failure with an automatic re-check before alerting — so a momentary network blip never pages you.

Smart Alerting​

Get notified through your preferred channels (email, Slack, Discord, PagerDuty) when issues are detected. Pulsar includes intelligent deduplication, flap detection, and a daily digest for non-critical alerts to prevent alert fatigue.

Checkout Flow Testing​

Our browser-based synthetic tests simulate real customer journeys through your checkout process, catching issues before your customers do.

JavaScript Error Detection​

Pulsar captures console errors and uncaught exceptions, helping you identify frontend issues that could impact conversions.
