Check frequency

The check frequency states how often we check the monitor. The frequency options range from 3 minutes for free plans to 30 seconds for paid plans.

To change the monitor's check frequency, go to Monitors → Select a monitor → Configure → Advanced settings and select it from the dropdown menu.
