| Paused (gray) | Checks stopped |
| Pending / initializing (blue) | Waiting for the first check |
| Under maintenance (blue) | Maintenance window active |
Actions
Section titled “Actions”- Check now: runs an immediate check and shows the result inline. Rapid consecutive runs are limited (a 5-minute cooldown notice appears when exceeded)
- Start / end maintenance
- Reset statistics: resets uptime display, either “all time” or “before a chosen date”. Cannot be undone
- Edit: opens the edit form (deletion is done from the service detail monitor list)
Type-specific sections
Section titled “Type-specific sections”- HTTP / TCP / Ping: response time chart for the last 50 checks, average response time, uptime. A “response time anomaly” badge appears when responses deviate strongly from the baseline
Attached notification channels
Section titled “Attached notification channels”You can attach channels directly to a monitor. With no attached channels, team-wide channels are notified; attaching even one channel restricts notifications to the attached ones (see Notification Behavior).
