Monitor, understand, act.
This documentation follows the product itself. Start with a check, create your monitor, then open its details when an anomaly appears.
01
Create your first monitor
- Check the domain. The public result confirms that the URL is valid and reachable from our probe.
- Open your member area. Add the full URL, give it a short name, and choose the interval.
- Wait for the first check. The details refresh automatically; do not recreate the monitor while its state is still unknown.
02
Understand states
Operational
The probe received a response considered healthy.
Degraded
The service responds, but its status or latency needs attention.
Unavailable
The connection failed or the response confirms an error.
Unknown
No usable measurement is available yet. This does not mean the service is up.
Paused describes the check lifecycle, not website health. A paused monitor no longer produces measurements.
03
Read history
- The availability timeline keeps the most severe state when several checks are grouped.
- The average describes the general level; P95 reveals the slowest 5% of checks.
- Change periods without losing context: the selected period remains shareable in the address bar.
- An empty period must remain unknown and must never be counted as available.
04
Start with a rule template
The Essential HTTP, SEO, commerce, blog, and security templates add editable deterministic rules. Their version number identifies the exact definition used as a starting point.
- Choose a template from the monitor Configuration tab.
- Review the added rules: they remain a draft and are not saved automatically.
- Adjust thresholds and disable checks that do not fit the page, then use Test now.
05
Interpret regional probes
Oracle Paris, Google, and Globalping results are independent observations. A failure in one region can indicate routing, DNS, filtering, or CDN issues rather than a global outage.
06
Resolve “no measurement received”
- Check that the monitor is active and its next run is scheduled.
- Choose “Run now” and wait a few seconds before refreshing.
- If the main result exists but regions do not, check the Oracle and Google services and their MongoDB access.
- Compare UTC timestamps before concluding that data was lost.
