Uptrends' checkpoints are the locations that carry out the monitoring tasks. Additionally you can use your own checkpoints inside your own network. Previously this meant that Uptrends would install checkpoints within your network which included quite a lot of administration on your end to allow access to your premises.
We’ve made things easier now. Private locations are a new way of setting up checkpoints in your own network. The checkpoint installation is based on Docker containers and installation files can be downloaded from inside the Uptrends app. Go to the menu to get started. The article Private locations has information on creating private locations and installing checkpoints.
This feature is in the public beta stage now and you can try it out. Note that the feature may be subject to change. Check out the article Beta programs for general info and guidelines regarding features in beta stages.
