Let's go over configuration parameters for the port monitors.

Name

Name is the displayed name/title of the monitor. It is used both on the application and the status page. When multiple monitors are listed, they are sorted alphabetically by the name.

Connection parameters

Host (or the IP address), and TCP port of the server or the device that will be monitored. If a host is provided, IP address is resolved via DNS.

Interval

Interval is the time gap between two consecutive checks for the monitor. It can be set between 30 seconds and 24 hours.

The minimum interval you can set depends on the plan you are on. For the plan Hobbyist it is 5 minutes, Basic and Pro it is 1 minute, and Business it is 30 seconds. Please see pricing for details.

Performance monitoring

You can configure the monitor to be marked as Slow (and trigger an alert possibly) when its performance degrades. You can set a

  • time window,
  • slow response time limit,
  • slow response count.

For example:

"Mark this monitor as slow if there are 3 or more results in the last 10 minutes with response time greater than 3 seconds."

Performance monitoring feature is available for Pro and Business plans. See pricing.
