Open Monitors and click a monitor. The page shows the state of the monitor, its uptime and its checks.
Actions at the top
- Pause: stops all checks of the monitor. Resume starts them again. A paused monitor sends no alerts.
- Snooze alerts: stops alerts for 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours or 24 hours. The checks continue. While alerts are snoozed, click Turn alerts back on to stop the snooze early.
- Check now: runs the HTTP, ping, SSL and DNS checks at once. You can use it 6 times per minute. It is not available while the monitor is paused.
- Edit: opens the Settings tab.
Viewers do not see these actions.
Overview tab
- Uptime: the uptime of the main check for the last 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days and 90 days. Only confirmed downtime counts. Maintenance does not count.
- Uptime, last 90 days: one bar per day.
- Status per region: the result of the last check from each region, for example "All 4 pass" or "1 of 4 failing".
- Where the time goes: the parts of the last HTTP response time: DNS, Connect, TLS, Waiting and Download.
The first time you open a monitor, we calculate its uptime. The page shows Calculating uptime…. This takes up to a minute. The figures appear when they are ready. You do not have to reload the page.
Checks tab
Each check has a card with its settings and a summary. Use Turn on or Turn off to change a check, and Run now to run one check at once. On this tab you also set up Application health and Broken links.
SSL & DNS tab
- SSL certificate: the issuer, the expiry date and the result of the last check.
- DNS records: the records that we found.
Incidents tab
The incident history of this monitor. Click an incident to open it. See Respond to incidents.
Settings tab
- What we check: name, display name, address, HTTP method, headers, request body and description.
- When it counts as up: expected status codes, text that the response must contain, and Alert after.
- How often and from where: the interval of each check and the primary region.
- Add checks: add a check type that the monitor does not have yet.
- Performance alerts: alert when the monitor becomes slower than usual.
- Danger zone: delete the monitor.
The main check
The uptime figures and charts use the main check of the monitor. Usually this is the HTTP check. If you turn off the main check, the next enabled check takes over, in this order: HTTP, ping, DNS. A monitor with only a ping or DNS check shows the uptime and charts of that check.
