HTTP checks on your sites and APIs, as often as every minute. A failed check opens an issue and alerts you; recovery resolves it.

- **Methods:** GET, HEAD, POST
- **Interval:** every minute or longer
- **Assertions:** expected status, body contains
- **Down after:** 1 failed probe by default, per check

On Developer, your coding agent can pick up any of these issues over MCP and fix it.

## Frequently asked questions

### How often can a check run?

Every minute at the most frequent, or any longer interval you set per check.

### What happens when a site goes down?

After the consecutive failures you set (one by default) it opens an issue, and your alert rules fire as for an error. The next good probe resolves it.

### Is uptime monitoring on the free plan?

Yes. Uptime checks are included on every plan.

_Checks run from a single location, and there are no public status pages yet._
