Monitor type guidance

When you’re setting up your Uptrends account, the most vital step is to create monitors for everything you want to start monitoring. We have about 18 different types of monitors that do very different things, so choosing the right type of monitor can be a little daunting.

To help you make the right choice, we’ll show a help screen that has a brief explanation for each monitor type, along with links to further documentation. Once you’ve made your choice, we’ll take you to the edit screen with the appropriate monitor settings. If you’re not sure which type to pick, feel free to switch between monitor types to discover different options!

The Monitor Types page in the Academy can get you up to speed. Our Knowledge Base contains articles for each individual monitor type.
