Setting Up Uptime Monitors for Your Endpoints
Monitor your HTTP endpoints and get alerted when they go down.
Creating a Monitor
- Navigate to Monitors in the sidebar.
- Click Create Monitor.
- Configure:
- Name — descriptive name (e.g., "API Health Check")
- URL — the endpoint to check (e.g.,
https://api.example.com/health) - Check interval — how often to check (e.g., every 60 seconds)
- Expected status — the HTTP status code that means healthy (typically 200)
What Monitors Track
Each check records:
- Status — UP or DOWN
- Response time — how long the endpoint took to respond
- Status code — the HTTP response code
- Timestamp
Viewing Monitor Details
Click any monitor to see:
- Current status with response time
- Uptime history timeline (visual bar showing up/down periods)
- Response time chart over time
- Recent check results
