Monitor Settings
The Monitor Settings page lets you view and edit a monitor's configuration, trigger a manual check, and delete the monitor.
Accessing the Page
Click Details on a monitor card from the Dashboard, or navigate to /monitoring/monitor/{monitor_id}.
Navigation Bar
A sub-navigation bar below the header links to all monitor-related pages. The current page is omitted from the bar:
- Monitor Details — this page
- Daily Metrics — uptime history
- Technical Logs — check log list
- Incidents — incident history
Header
The page header shows:
- Monitor URL — the address being monitored
- UUID — the monitor's unique identifier (useful for API calls)
- Health badge — current health and logical state (see Alerts & Incidents)
- Run Now button — triggers an immediate check (see below)
Active Incidents Panel
If the monitor has any open incidents, a panel is displayed below the navigation bar listing each one with its type, when it started, and a short root cause. Click the incident row to open the Incident Detail page.
The panel disappears automatically once all incidents are resolved.
Overview Chart
A chart below the header shows the history of recent check results. Each data point represents one check, color-coded by status.
Configuration Form
The form has the same fields as the New Monitor form. Changes are validated live and saved only when you click Save Changes.
Run Now
Clicking Run Now enqueues an immediate HTTP check outside the normal schedule. After triggering, the button shows a Wait 60s countdown — manual checks are rate-limited to one per minute per monitor.
The page updates automatically when the check completes: the health badge and overview chart refresh without a page reload.
SSL Ignore
The Ignore SSL Errors toggle in the configuration form instructs Holter to skip SSL certificate checks for this monitor. When enabled:
- No SSL expiry incidents are opened.
- Any existing open SSL expiry incident is resolved the next time Run Now is clicked or a scheduled check runs.
- HTTP checks still run normally.
This is useful for monitors on internal services that intentionally use self-signed certificates.
Pausing and Resuming
To pause monitoring, set the State field to Paused and save. The health badge switches to a PAUSED indicator and the monitor stops being checked. Set it back to Active to resume.
Deleting a Monitor
Click Delete Monitor at the bottom of the form. A confirmation dialog appears. Click Yes, Delete Completely to permanently remove the monitor and all its associated logs, metrics, and incidents. This action cannot be undone.
Real-Time Updates
The page subscribes to live events. When an automatic check completes, the health badge, overview chart, and header update automatically.
