Edit Monitor

You can change any setting on a ping monitor after it’s created. History and incidents are preserved.

Open the monitor

From Monitors, click the monitor, then choose Edit (or Settings).

What you can change

• Name — rename without affecting history.
• Host — point the monitor at a different IP address or hostname.
• Check interval — how often it pings.
• Regions — add or remove probe locations to change your coverage.
• Alerts — which channels it notifies and the alert timing.

Changes take effect from the next check.

Pause instead of edit

For planned maintenance on the host, pause the monitor rather than deleting it — it stops pinging and alerting but keeps its full history, and you can resume any time.

Next steps

• Set up alerts · Review results in the monitor detail view · Delete the monitor.
