create_monitor

dev.uptimepage/uptimepage · Verify this server

Create a monitor for an http, tcp, ping, dns, tls_cert, domain_expiry or heartbeat check. The check is run once before anything is saved and the result is shown to the user along with every setting it would apply; where the client can show a prompt, nothing is created unless they approve; otherwise the monitor is created on the token's scope and the trial result comes back with it. Bind it to alerts as you create it: pass channel_ids from list_notification_channels (this needs the channels:read scope), and if the org has no channel yet, say so rather than leaving a monitor that pages nobody. Leave regions unset unless the user named where they want the check to run from — omitted, it probes from the operator's default set, which is already the intended coverage; naming more regions than the plan allows is refused outright. Request headers and a request body can be set, but a credential must be referenced rather than pasted: write `Bearer {{ my_key }}` and call list_variables for the keys this org has. A URL carrying a username or password is refused, and browser flows cannot be created here — add those in the app. Not read-only.
