How to Create an Uptime Monitor?

There are two ways to create an uptime monitor in WebPixie.

Creating a Monitor from the Uptime Page

Users can create a new monitor directly from the Uptime page.

Steps to follow:

1. Go to the Uptime page from the left menu
2. Click the Add button
3. Enter the URL you want to monitor

4. Configure uptime settings

5. Complete the monitor creation

After the monitor is created, WebPixie will automatically start checking the site at the specified intervals.

Creating a Monitor from the Site Detail Page

You can also add an uptime monitor directly from the site detail page for a site that is already being tracked in WebPixie.

This method allows you to quickly start uptime monitoring for an existing site.

Steps to follow:

1. Open one of the tracked sites
2. Go to the site detail page
3. Use the Monitor Uptime option

4. Configure uptime settings

5. Complete the monitor creation

After this process, the uptime monitor will be activated for the relevant site.

After Creating a Monitor

Once an uptime monitor is created, WebPixie initiates the following process:

1. The first check runs shortly after the monitor is created
2. Checks then repeat at the interval you set
3. Checks run from the locations you selected, or from one WebPixie assigns if you selected none
4. Results are recorded and shown on the monitor's details page
5. If the site is inaccessible, an incident is created once the failure is confirmed
