Uptime monitor

An HTTP status code monitor checks your URLs for an HTTP success status code (2XX) with a selected frequency. If the URL doesn't return this code, the monitor creates an Incident and alerts the current on-call person.

Creating an HTTP status code based monitor:

  • Go to Monitors  → Create monitor.
  • Enter your URL or IP address in the URL to monitor text field.
  • Click Create monitor.
