Monitoring

Website and API monitors

HTTP GET checks for websites and APIs — settings, success rules, and worker behavior.

Website / API monitors send an HTTP GET to the URL you provide. A check passes when the response status code is below 400.

Create a monitor

  1. Monitors → New monitor (route /monitors/new).
  2. Enter the full URL, including https://.
  3. Choose a check interval: 10 s, 30 s, 1 min, or 5 min (fastest interval depends on your plan).
  4. Optionally assign groups to organize the list.
  5. Set Notifications (default: No notifications).

Settings (detail → Settings tab)

What the worker does

  • Timeout: 20 seconds
  • Retries: 1 retry after 400 ms on transient errors
  • Redirects: follows up to 5 (301, 302, 303, 307, 308)
  • Network: IPv4 only
  • Timings recorded: DNS, TCP, TLS, TTFB

Mute a monitor

From monitor actions, mute for 30 minutes, 1 hour, 24 hours, or until I unmute. Muted monitors skip checks and keep their last status.
