Plan Based Intervals

Free
5 min
Starter
1 min
Agency
15 sec

The shorter the interval, the more often the system generates new check records and the earlier outages appear. The intervals in the public plan are as above.

Actual Detection Time

Typical upper limit for first down alarm
Plan December First alarm
Free 5 min About 5 minutes
Starter 1 min About 1 minute
Growth 30 sec About 30 seconds
Agency 15 sec About 15 seconds

You do not need to wait for a separate streak threshold for the alarm.

After the first failed check, the incident is opened and a notification is sent. Additional cascading notifications continue to be sent as the incident remains open.

Changing the Interval

The frequency of checks is determined at the plan level. You can upgrade your plan for a shorter interval.

December changes with the plan.

When you switch between Starter, Growth and Agency plans, the new interval is applied automatically - you don't need to set a separate site setting.
