Monitoring Periods
Monitoring Periods are the times over which a service monitor is actively monitoring a host. The Monitoring Periods also apply to the times when Uptime Infrastructure Monitor sends alerts
Uptime Infrastructure Monitor comes with the following Monitoring Periods:
- 24x7 – Monitoring is performed 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
- 9am to 5pm weekdays – Monitoring is performed from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday.
- Never – No monitoring is carried out.
You can add Monitoring Periods that suit your needs. For example, you can create a Monitoring Period called " Weekends" that only monitors a host from 12:00 a.m. on Saturday to 11:59 p.m. on Sunday.
