Quetzly

Beyond real-time monitoring, Quetzly offers a Professional Reports feature that generates comprehensive PDF summaries of service health. Users can run a weekly health check to document uptime, errors, and overall service conditions. These reports are designed for stakeholder communication, allowing teams to prove reliability and track improvements over time. The reports convert complex technical information into an accessible format suitable for directors, auditors, or clients. Additionally, Quetzly's architecture is intentionally lightweight: it requires no server installation, no GIS Pro license, and no lengthy setup process. This makes it a straightforward alternative to enterprise solutions like ArcGIS Monitor or custom Python scripts. The result is a low-maintenance tool that delivers core auditing capabilities without the associated costs or complexity.

Quetzly operates as a browser-based application that you access from any modern browser. The workflow begins by adding your geospatial API endpoints—whether they are ArcGIS REST services, OGC WMS/WFS layers, or GeoJSON URLs—through a simple interface. Once added, the tool immediately starts its background scanning process, continuously polling each endpoint at a set interval. The results are displayed in two main views: the Services Directory Dashboard for overall health and a detailed map view that visualizes each service's layers and errors. When an error is detected, a tooltip appears with a description, and the service status is updated. Users can then investigate the error details and share findings via the PDF report generator. This entire flow is designed to be intuitive, requiring no scripting or complex configuration.

A typical use case is a GIS team managing dozens of WMS services for a university mapping portal. Previously, they relied on user complaints to detect outages. With Quetzly, they set up background scans once and receive instant browser notifications when a layer fails to load. This reduces response time from hours to minutes, preventing student and faculty frustration. Another scenario involves a small consulting firm that needs to prove uptime to clients. They use Quetzly's weekly PDF reports to document 99.9% availability, strengthening their service-level agreements. For developers maintaining hybrid map stacks (ArcGIS and OpenLayers), Quetzly's multi-protocol support lets them monitor all endpoints from one dashboard, simplifying troubleshooting across different environments. The outcome is consistent service reliability, fewer emergency fixes, and better communication with non-technical stakeholders.

The primary users of Quetzly are GIS developers, web mapping engineers, and technical managers who need a straightforward way to monitor geospatial API health. It runs on any modern web browser, making it platform-agnostic and suitable for both Windows and macOS environments. The tool's tech stack is entirely client-side, so there are no server dependencies or ongoing infrastructure costs. Pricing is designed to be affordable and transparent, positioning Quetzly as a cost-effective alternative to enterprise monitoring platforms. Whether you are a startup deploying a simple GeoJSON feed or a large organization managing hundreds of ArcGIS services, Quetzly scales to your needs without the overhead. In summary, Quetzly delivers essential GeoAPI testing and monitoring capabilities in an accessible, browser-based package, ensuring your maps stay reliable and your team stays proactive.
