Overview of the Uptime Dashboard
The Uptime Dashboard provides a comprehensive view of all your uptime checks, making it easy to quickly identify any issues and ensure your website is always running smoothly.
Step-by-Step Instructions to Create a New Uptime Test
1. Access the Dashboard:
- Start on your main Uptime Dashboard to get an overview of your existing uptime checks.
2. Create a New Test:
- Select a project where you want to set up the uptime monitoring.
- Click on “Start” to begin creating your new uptime test.
3. Fill in Uptime Details:
- Name Your Test: Assign a descriptive name to make it easy to identify each test later.
- Enter the URL: Input the specific URL or endpoint you want to monitor.
4. Configure Request Settings:
- Request Method: Choose the appropriate HTTP method for your endpoint, such as GET or POST.
- Schedule Interval: Set how frequently you want the test to run. The default interval is every 5 minutes, but you can adjust this to suit your needs.
5. Define Fault Conditions:
- Expected Response: Specify the expected HTTP status, like 200 for a successful response. This ensures you receive alerts if the status differs from what’s expected.
- Monitor Status Range: Optionally, select a group of HTTP statuses to monitor and track a range of potential responses.
6. Activate the Test:
- Click “Save” to activate your uptime monitoring.
- Your test is now active, and you’ll be notified if any issues arise with the monitored page or endpoint.
By following these steps, your uptime monitoring will keep a close eye on your website’s performance, alerting you to any problems promptly.
