Announcing: RDAP Check type — A Smarter Way to Watch Your Domains

We’re excited to introduce our newest monitoring check type, RDAP. Ever wish you could proactively know when your domains are about to expire, or ensure the nameservers configured at your registrar haven’t been changed? RDAP Checks make it easy.

What Is an RDAP Check?

RDAP (Registration Data Access Protocol) is essentially a modern, structured successor to WHOIS, letting you pull domain, ASN, or IP registration data over HTTP in JSON format. Unlike legacy WHOIS queries, RDAP delivers rich, programmable data with support for internationalization and extensibility about.rdap.org.

Now, NodePing can monitor that data for you! Use RDAP Checks to:

  • Stay ahead of domain expiration — never forget that renewal.
  • Ensure infrastructure consistency — verify nameservers and registration data on your schedule.
  • Monitor your RDAP services — get alerted instantly if your RDAP endpoint goes down.
  • Get actionable feedback — diagnostics help you pinpoint the issue faster.

At NodePing we strive to make monitoring smarter, easier, and more versatile. RDAP Checks slot right into that vision—whether you’re managing domains, enforcing infrastructure integrity, or keeping your RDAP services reliable.

Ready to try it? Head to your NodePing dashboard and give RDAP Checks a spin. Don’t have an account yet? No problem, sign up for a free, 15-day trial. As always, support is just an email away if you need help making it perfect.

A NodePing UI Refresh, Finally

2024/05/29 by Leave a comment

For the first time since our launch in 2011, NodePing is rolling out a major user interface update. We’ve continually added features over the years, but now, after 13 years, we’re introducing a completely revamped UI to enhance your experience. At the same time, the UI Refresh also brings a number of often-requested feature enhancements.

Why the Change?

Aside from the obvious fact that the old one looks like it was designed in 2011, our new UI is designed to streamline your workflow and improve usability, and scale better for handle large numbers of checks more easily. That will be particularly important for our customers with thousands of checks.

While the visual design has been updated this isn’t just a visual change. We have taken advantage of the opportunity to add or enhance several features, and implement some features previously only accessible through our API.

Some New Features at a Glance:

  • Dark Mode: For us sysadminy-types that dwell in low light!
  • API Key Management: Easily manage API keys (available on plans with API access).
  • Audit Logging: Keep track of all activities with audit logs (Premiere plan – 60 days retention).
  • Check Tags: Group your checks with customizable tags.
  • Contact Notification Suppression: Disable messages types on a contact method level.
  • Location Templates: Create your own “regions” with location templates.
  • Data Export: Export data easily from most list types.
  • Improved Authentication: Use Google and Microsoft OpenID Connect, plus support for custom OIDC setups (Premiere plan).
