Overview
The API Check Error Tracking Widget gives you a summary of the health and performance of your API Check monitors by listing all of your active monitors along with a performance and availability status bar with a variety of customization and configuration options listed below.
Displayed Metric
The displayed Metric selector allows you to choose which metric is used for the performance line within the bar for each monitor.
This is also the metric used to show the average and last measured times to the right of each monitor status bar.
Monitors in Error State
The "Monitors in Error State" section lists the monitors that are currently in error state.
This dashboard uses the "Error Tracking" section in the configuration for each synthetic monitor to determine whether the monitor is in Error State.
|
Note: the monitors do not move from the list into the Monitors in Error State section - they are duplicated into the the section to preserve ordering and view. |
