Monitors
Choose a check interval that fits the signal
Set how often a monitor checks its target. Intervals run from 1 minute to 1 hour, and your plan sets the fastest one you can choose.
Intervals you can select
- 1 minute — Pro and Team
- 2 minutes — Pro and Team
- 3 minutes — every plan, and the fastest Free offers
- 5 minutes
- 10 minutes
- 15 minutes
- 30 minutes
- 1 hour
The default interval is 5 minutes. The monitor form lists only the intervals your plan allows, so Free accounts see 3 minutes and slower. The API applies the same floor and answers a faster request with a 403 naming your plan.
Beyond the plan floor, the API accepts 60 to 86400 seconds, so intervals longer than 1 hour are available only through the API.
Set the interval
- Open the interval control in the monitor form.
- Choose the interval that matches the response time you need.
- Save the monitor and confirm the interval in its details.
- A monitor created before its plan gained a floor keeps its current interval. Everything else about it stays editable; changing the interval itself means choosing one your plan allows.
