[7] As of 2016, CopperEgg Corporation's web site ceases operational, and redirected to IDERA, Inc.'s page. CopperEgg's monitoring software was renamed to Uptime Cloud Monitor.

[10] The 5-second on-screen performance updates are visible through the SaaS application. Some of the key features include a less than 10-second install and a Web 2.0 graphical interface. CopperEgg introduced server application process monitoring in an update in 2012. [11]

[12] RevealUptime provides up to a 15-second response time, uptime and health updates on Websites, Web applications, Web services and TCP ports, visible through a SaaS application. These performance metrics can be viewed together with the corresponding servers monitored by the RevealCloud product.

In October 2012, CopperEgg added a management API that provides open programmatic access for automating and orchestrating server monitoring, website uptime analysis, and cloud infrastructure management. This update also added software-defined monitoring with DevOps integration into third-party automation tools such as Chef and Puppet. [13]
