Monitors
Usage limits for your monitors are determined by your plan
How does monitoring work?
Monitors are used to watch for changes in your data and signal when a specified state or threshold is matched. Pro and Enterprise users can even provide scripts for even more in-depth control over monitors.
Depending on how you configure a monitor, you can choose whether the status roll up returns a red, amber or green color to the tile.
The status of the tile will then automatically roll up to the dashboard, and to the workspace. So if a tile turns red, so does the dashboard and workspace.
The red, amber or green status indicators mean you can instantly see if everything is okay or if something needs your attention.
Once your monitor is configured, SquaredUp can alert you when its state changes by sending notifications.
This short video (2 mins 40) shows how to enable monitoring for a tile and add a new notification rule:
Where can I see an overview of my monitoring?
Go to the Monitors tab on the left-hand side to see which dashboards and tiles related to this workspace have monitoring activated.
The Monitors page shows a table displaying monitors configured in this workspace, their current state, last and next evaluation times, and details of the last state change.
Click on the dashboard name to view that dashboard.
Configuring monitors
Monitoring is configured on a tile level, which means you can add monitoring to any tile on a dashboard. When you're editing a tile the Monitoring tab, on the right of the screen, lets you switch on and configure monitoring.
Monitoring can be based on a state (for objects that come with a state property), a threshold (like "if there are more then 10 new tickets in the last 24 hours switch the status to red"), or a monitor condition script.
The Preview box shows the tile's state color and value for the current configuration while you are changing settings.
