Aviator is a web service facilitating easy surveillance of scientific online tools. It currently checks more than 13,000 websites twice a day for availability and saves numerous features (response time, RAM usage security certificates, analytic tools / trackers, etc.) in a FAIR data repository.
Aviator is a web-server monitoring the availability of other published web-servers. It allows researchers to monitor their own tools or to asses if a tool they would like to access is temporarily or permanently offline.
Aviator is composed of two modules:
The web-server URL or an API endpoint provided by the authors are queried twice per day. In addition to providing an availability overview we provide the possibility for authors to be notified if their webserver is offline for an unexpected period of time.
To add your published web-server to Aviator a simple API endpoint and a registration is needed.
