Core concepts

A few terms are used throughout the app:

• Workspace — your organization’s private space. Every monitor, status page, webhook, and teammate belongs to one workspace, and workspaces never see each other’s data.
• Monitor — one thing you’re watching (a URL, an API endpoint, a port, or a heartbeat). Each monitor has a type, a schedule, and its own settings.
• Check — a single test run of a monitor. Each check records whether the target was up or down, the response time, and any error.
• Incident — a period during which a monitor was continuously down. It opens when the monitor goes down and resolves when it recovers, and records the cause and total duration.
• Group — an optional label used to organize monitors (e.g. “Production”, “Client sites”, “Internal”).
• Status page — a public, shareable page showing the live status and uptime history of monitors you choose.
