- Up - Check state is reported as OK and Uptime.com has not issued an alert.
- Down - Check state is reported as CRITICAL. Uptime.com has issued an alert.
- Paused - Check is not actively monitoring, collecting metrics, or issuing alerts.
- Maintenance - Check is in maintenance state. Click here to learn more about maintenance states.
Pausing a Check
Pause a check from Monitoring > Checks. Tick the box next to the check you wish to pause, then click Bulk Actions > Pause Selected Checks from the dropdown menu above the checks.
It is also possible to filter your view to include checks in various states:
Please note: it is possible to pause checks in bulk.
Pausing a Group Check
A Group Check nests individual checks, and pausing this check type applies differently than normal check types. Because a Group Check functions similarly to an individual check, pausing a Group check pauses only the Group check and not the checks nested within.
Deleting a Check
Delete a check from Monitoring > Checks. Tick the box next to the check you wish to delete, then click Actions > Delete, or delete checks in bulk by selecting the desired checks and clicking Bulk Actions > Delete Selected Checks.
Please Note: Deleted checks & associated alerts will be non-recoverable after 30 days.
Deleting Checks in a Group Check
A Group Check nests individual checks, and deletion of check applies differently to this check type.
A Group Check in this sense can be considered like an individual check. Deleting a Group check does not delete any checks nested within it. However, deleting an individual check from within a Group check does remove that check from your account.
