Creating a new monitor

Creating a new monitor involves a few steps, mentioned below.

General settings

• URL to monitor: Enter the full URL of the website or service you want to monitor.

• Display name: Optionally, provide a custom name for your monitor. This helps identify it easily in your dashboard.

Checks to perform

• Website monitoring: This option uses HTTP(s) to monitor your website or API endpoint. You can choose between HTTPS and HTTP protocols.

• Ping monitoring: Checks whether your server is available. This option is currently unselected.

• Docker monitoring: Checks whether a Docker container is running or not.

Incident notifications

When there's a new incident, you can choose how to be notified. Currently there is one way of notification, via email. In the near future there will be more notification options.

Advanced settings

• Check frequency: Set how often the system should check your monitor. The current setting is 1 minute.

After configuring all settings, click the "Create monitor" button at the bottom right to set up your new monitor.
