Create a monitoring metric
-
In the Control Panel, on the top menu, click Products and select Network Monitoring.

Make sure you have not exhausted your paid metrics limit — it is displayed on the top right and shows how many metrics you have already created and how many metrics you can create in total. If the limit is exhausted, order additional metrics. Three metrics are available for free.
-
Click Create Metric.

Enter the name of the metric
-
Enter tags to filter in the metrics list.
-
Select the type of metric.
-
In the Host/IP field, enter the domain or IP address of the server to be checked. Select the protocol to be used for the check.
-
Select the test period — how often the test will be performed.
-
Select the test timeout — the period of time after which the test will be considered unsuccessful.
-
Select the sequence in which the checks are performed:
- sequentially — from all selected presence points one by one;
- parallel — from all selected points simultaneously;
- in random order.
-
Specify additional parameters for the selected metric type.
-
Check the checkpoints. The points have their IP addresses — if you have a firewall installed on your server, include these addresses in the firewall rules.
-
Optional: customize notifications of monitoring results and reports.

Optional: test the metric — click Test Metric.

If you want to leave the new metric inactive, uncheck the Enable metric immediately after creation checkbox.
