Checks

This guide helps you create monitors, or “checks” for a particular website or API endpoint. A single check is effectively one URL, which Pingnik sends requests to in order to monitor uptime

Creating a Check
To create a check click the "add new" button on the checks page, you’ll be presented with the check creation form. After creating a check, make sure your team is notified of downtime and performance issues by creating an alert.
Basic settings
Enter a descriptive Name such as "Google Search", or "My App API" used for reporting. Select the HTTP method and type the domain including the protocol (https or http) as "https://google.com" or "https://run.mocky.io/v3/94de3524-b33f-41d9-8ccb-599aee0714c6".

How timeouts are handled
Requests which take longer than 10 seconds time out, and are treated as errors which contribute to downtime.
