4xx Client error
HTTP 424 Failed Dependency
A WebDAV status: the method couldn’t be performed on the resource because it depended on another action that failed.
Defined in RFC 4918, section 11.4(opens in a new tab)
//_01 Uptime checks
Is 424 up or down for a monitor?
Uptimecheck HTTP monitor
Default settings
Down. It is outside the default 200–399 range, so a monitor reports an outage once a second check confirms it. If 424 is the answer you expect from that URL, add it to the monitor’s expected status codes.

Up. The checker counts any answer below 500 as the site answering: a 424 comes from a server that is running.
//_02 Causes and fixes
Why you see 424 and what to do
Typical causes
- A WebDAV request with several steps, where an earlier step failed.
If you run the site
- Look at the status of the step that failed first.
If you’re a visitor
- Nothing to do in a browser.
Know the moment your site stops answering as it should
An Uptimecheck monitor requests your page as often as every minute, checks the status code against the ones you expect, confirms a failure with a second check and then alerts you.
