Uptime Monitors
Uptime monitors are event-driven checks with per-monitor intervals, failure thresholds, and automatic recovery alerts.
Check Types
| Check | What it measures |
|---|---|
| HTTP/HTTPS | Status code, response time, optional keyword match |
| Ping | ICMP reachability and RTT |
| TCP Port | Port open/closed, connection time |
| DNS | Record resolution, expected value match |
Features
- Configurable failure thresholds — set how many consecutive failures trigger an alert
- Cooldown windows — prevent alert storms with per-monitor cooldown periods
- Recovery alerts — automatic notification when a monitor returns to healthy state
- Incident tracking — every incident recorded with open/closed timestamps
- Live status — real-time updates via SSE to the dashboard
Monitor + Bra1n Integration
Monitors can be linked to Bra1n endpoints for bidirectional visibility:
- Endpoint detail shows all linked monitors with live status
- Monitor auto-fill — selecting a Bra1n endpoint auto-populates IP, name, location, and check type
- V1sion badges — topology nodes display coloured ECG badges reflecting monitor status (green = UP, red = DOWN, amber = degraded)
Creating a Monitor
Monitors can be created from multiple places:
- Monitors tab — full creation form with all options
- V1sion topology — click a node's ECG badge to quick-create a monitor with target auto-filled
- Bra1n endpoint — create directly from an endpoint's detail view
