GET Read the monitor’s aggregate availability source
/api/v1/monitors/{id}/availability
HTTP and TCP, UDP, DNS, TLS, ping, service, domain and browser monitors use one aggregate availability series per monitor. For multiple checking locations, this series follows the monitor’s configured confirmation and any/all/quorum policy. Per-location and per-engine durations are never added together. The catalog includes active monitors with availability collection enabled; the individual source also exposes retained history when collection is disabled. Unknown, paused and unobserved time never count as confirmed availability. SLOs and reports use the same source and retain their separate maintenance calculations.

- POST Evaluate monitor availability
Evaluates the last 90 days and periods of 24 hours, 7, 30 and 90 days using the monitor’s aggregate availability source. Calendar days use the requesting account’s time zone. Unknown, paused and missing time is not confirmed uptime. Existing history-query capacity and retention apply. Reuses equivalent running jobs or results up to five minutes old; poll the returned archive job for completion.
- POST Evaluate HTTP response times by location and region
Compare all retained regular HTTP check durations by location or world region in one snapshot. Means are weighted by sample count; the overall average includes hidden locations. Missing measurements remain gaps. Automatic display shares a 16,000-point and 4 MiB result budget across both representations. Original and live capacity limits are explicit; realtime alarm series are unchanged.
- GET Read SSL certificate details
Read bounded, location-bound certificate evidence. Automatic certificate diagnostics and remaining-day measurements run hourly; domain diagnostics run daily. Rechecks require edit rights, a saved target, the current configuration revision and an operation id. They use check quotas without changing regular HTTP measurements or alarm confirmations. Unknown or stale evidence does not confirm validity.
