| 8 | +## Overview | Installation |

13 | | -## Features |
14 | | - |
15 | | -There’s no software or agent to install or configure. Be up and running with worldPing in less than 60 seconds. Just give us the domain name of your site or application, and we’ll automatically detect what to monitor. |
16 | | - |
17 | | -This means you can catch micro-outages that might not otherwise show up, be alerted much faster, and troubleshoot in real-time. This kind of resolution and metric volume would normally cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars per month with other providers. |

20 | | -### Supported Protocols |
21 | | - |
22 | | -Is the problem a regional network issue? DNS, yet again? A slowdown in the backend? worldPing allows you to pinpoint the problem through gorgeous visualizations, giving you context across different layers of the stack: |
23 | | - |
24 | | -- Ping uptime and performance (eg. latency, loss, jitter) |
25 | | -- DNS uptime and performance (eg. latency, responses) |
26 | | -- HTTP and HTTPS (uptime and performance) |
27 | | - |
28 | | -You can configure each endpoint to your exact needs, but we will autosuggest protocols based on what we can probe. |
29 | | - |
30 | | -### Alerting |
31 | | - |
32 | | -When you have a problem, worldPing will send you a high quality and speedy alert, configurable on a per-endpoint basis. It also helps triage by pinpointing the problem to a particular region or part of your stack. |
33 | | - |
34 | | -Errors are validated across multiple locations to reduce false positives. |
35 | | - |
36 | | -Now with worldPing v1.2.2+ and Grafana v4+, the sky is the limit. Using the 100% Graphite-compatible worldPing hosted data source, you can bring metrics-based alerting into your global performance monitoring. |
37 | | - |
38 | | -### API Access |
