Add uptime monitors
Check that a project is reachable every minute, and keep the result.
Error tracking tells you when something failed loudly. Monitors tell you when something stopped answering at all.
Add a monitor
- Open the project, then Monitors.
- Give the monitor a name and the URL to check — a health endpoint is ideal.
- Save. Checking starts on the next minute.
What the states mean
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Up | The last check reached the target and it answered healthily |
| Down | The last check failed — this is the state that can raise a notification |
| Unknown | No check has completed yet, so no claim is being made |
| Paused | Checking is deliberately suspended |
Every result is stored with the time it was taken, so the Monitors page shows history rather than only the current answer.
Point monitors at an endpoint that is cheap to serve. A check runs every minute, for every monitor, forever.
