What is AlertSite? #
SmartBear AlertSite is a web monitoring tool that monitors the performance of websites, web applications, APIs, email servers, and other resources. AlertSite monitors at the browser level, collecting metrics that reflect the user’s experience.
Why Should You Use the AlertSite Connector? #
The AlertSite connector provides visibility into the assets in your environment. You can use this visibility to:
-
ensure assets are managed per your security policies
-
derive relationships between assets, users, applications, and data
How Does This Connector Work? #
Lucidum executes read-only requests to the AlertSite REST API and ingests only meta-data about AlertSite assets. Lucidum does not retrieve any data stored on your assets.
