Create a monitoring metric
-
In control panel go to Monitoring → Monitoring.
-
Check that 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 total metrics you can create. If the limit is exhausted, order additional metrics. Three metrics are provided free of charge.
-
Click Create a metric.
-
Enter the name of the metric and tags to filter.
-
Select metric type.
-
Enter host or IP — the domain name or IP address of the server to be scanned. Select the priority of the protocol to be checked.
-
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, they are individual for each type.
-
Check the checkpoints. The points have their IP addresses — if the server you are using has a firewall, include these addresses in the firewall rules.
-
Optional: customize notices and reports.
-
Optional: test the metric — press Test metrics.
-
If you want to leave the new metric inactive, uncheck the checkbox Enable metrics immediately after creation.
-
Click Create and run.
