Launching WatchMouse Laboratories: the tech playground for website monitoring

7
Sep 2009

We just launched WatchMouse Laboratories (labs.watchmouse.com)

This blog is the experimental outlet of the WatchMouse engineering team. Here we will share our thoughts on website monitoring, publish experimental features, hand out beta-invites and ask for your opinion.

Our first post is "Investigating IPv6 Website Monitoring", explaining about our work to be ready for the IPv6 Internet. As you might know IP addresses are running out, and many efforts are being made to replace the current Internet Protocol (IPv4) with version 6, which allows for an almost unlimited number of IP addresses.

Of course this will also have consequences on Website Monitoring of IPv6 enabled web sites and servers. WatchMouse is currently working to make this part of their standard offering, and some of our thoughts and findings are shared on our new labs blog.
