Frequently asked questions

Answers and setup guides.

Can I check private network targets?
The checks support public HTTP and HTTPS URLs. Internal network addresses, localhost, cloud metadata addresses and unsupported ports cannot be used.
Does an unknown result mean an outage?
It means the check could not determine whether the service was available. The history marks this separately from a confirmed outage.
Which check intervals are supported?
Checks run every five minutes by default. You can choose an interval from one minute to one hour. The guide explains the available checks.

Your next step
