How to View Monitor Metrics
Explore response time charts, uptime statistics, SSL expiry, and historical check results for any monitor.
Opening the Monitor Detail Page
There are two ways to open the detail page for a monitor:
- Click the monitor's name in the Monitors list
- Click the chart icon on the monitor's row in the Monitors list
The detail page fetches data from the edge server that runs this monitor.
Header Summary Card
At the top of the page, a summary card shows the most important information at a glance:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Monitor Name | The name you gave this monitor |
| Status | Up or Down, updated on every page load |
| Monitor Type | http, https, ping, port, keyword, or dns |
| Current Response Time | Round-trip latency from the last check (ms) |
| Last Checked | Timestamp of the most recent check |
| Check Interval | How often the monitor runs (e.g., every 5 minutes) |
| Target URL / Host | The URL or host being monitored (clickable link for HTTP/HTTPS) |
Time Range Selector
Use the time range selector at the top of the charts section to zoom in or out:
- 1 hour — high-resolution view for recent incidents
- 24 hours — daily overview (default)
- 7 days — weekly trend
- 30 days — monthly trend
- Custom — pick any start and end date
All charts update simultaneously when you change the time range.
Uptime Statistics
The uptime percentage is shown prominently beneath the header:
For selected period
Percentage of checks in the selected period (from the time range) that succeeded.
Charts
Response Time Chart
A line chart showing the total round-trip response time in milliseconds over the selected period. Each data point represents one check. Gaps in the chart indicate periods when the monitor was paused or the check timed out.
- Hover over a point to see the exact time and value
- Downtime periods are shaded in red on the chart background
Status Over Time (Timeline Bar)
A color-coded horizontal bar showing Up (green) and Down (red) periods. This makes it easy to spot recurring outages or time-of-day patterns. Hover over a segment to see the exact start and end times.
TTFB — Time to First Byte (HTTP / HTTPS monitors only)
The time in milliseconds from when the request was sent to when the server sent back its first byte of response. High TTFB values indicate slow backend processing independent of network latency.
DNS Resolution Time (HTTP / HTTPS monitors only)
Time taken by the edge server to resolve the monitor's domain name. Spikes here point to DNS infrastructure problems rather than web server issues.
TCP Connection Time (HTTP / HTTPS / Port monitors)
Time to complete the TCP (and TLS) handshake. High values may indicate network congestion or TLS misconfiguration.
SSL Certificate Expiry (HTTPS monitors only)
A gauge showing the number of days until the SSL certificate expires. Color coding:
- Green: More than 30 days remaining
- Yellow: 14–30 days remaining
- Red: Fewer than 14 days remaining
Configure an alert on SSL expiry in Configure Alerts to be notified before the certificate expires.
