<h1>Configuring Checks</h1> | |||||
<p>In SITE_NAME, a <strong>Check</strong> represents a single service you want to | |||||
monitor. For example, when monitoring cron jobs, you would create a separate check for | |||||
each cron job to be monitored. SITE_NAME pricing plans are structured primarily | |||||
around how many checks you can have in your account. You can create checks | |||||
either in SITE_NAME web interface or by calling <a href="../api/">API</a>.</p> | |||||
<h2>Name, Tags, Description</h2> | |||||
<p>Describe each check using optional name, tags and description fields.</p> | |||||
<p><img alt="Editing name, tags and description" src="IMG_URL/edit_name.png" /></p> | |||||
<ul> | |||||
<li><strong>Name</strong>: names are optional, but it is a good idea to set them. | |||||

account. Names are displayed in the web interface, in email reports and in the | |||||
notifications that SITE_NAME sends out.</li> | |||||
<li><strong>Tags</strong>: a space-separated list of optional labels. Use tags to organize and group | |||||
checks within a project. You can tag checks by environment | |||||

any other system.</li> | |||||

</ul> | |||||
<h2>Simple Schedules</h2> | |||||
<p>SITE_NAME supports two types of schedules: "simple" and "cron". Use "Simple" schedules | |||||
for monitoring processes that are expected to run at relatively regular time | |||||
intervals: once an hour, once a day, once a week.</p> | |||||
<p><img alt="Editing the period and grace time" src="IMG_URL/edit_simple_schedule.png" /></p> | |||||

<li><strong>Period</strong>: the expected time between pings</li> | |||||
<li><strong>Grace Time</strong>: when a check is late, how long to wait before sending an alert. | |||||
Use this variable to account for small, expected deviations in job execution times.</li> | |||||
</ul> | |||||

running on. If the machine is not using UTC timezone, you need to tell SITE_NAME | |||||
what timezone to use.</li> | |||||

In SITE_NAME, a **Check** represents a single service you want to | |||||
monitor. For example, when monitoring cron jobs, you would create a separate check for | |||||
each cron job to be monitored. SITE_NAME pricing plans are structured primarily | |||||
around how many checks you can have in your account. You can create checks | |||||
either in SITE_NAME web interface or by calling [API](../api/). | |||||
## Name, Tags, Description | |||||
Describe each check using optional name, tags and description fields. | |||||
