Service Monitor

Polaris allows you to monitor your resources and ensure that key resources are always available and accessible at all times. This function is compatible with any resource that can be accessed through a URL and is highly customizable to suit your needs.

Accessing Service Monitor​

Setting Tab

Under Sites, click on Settings.

Service Monitor Tab

Look for Service Monitor on the horizontal sliding menu.

Adding a resource​

To add a resource, click the + Service Monitor button and fill in the necessary details:

Add Service

  1. Set a Service Name to identify the resource.
  2. Select the Service Type: HTTP / TCP / UDP / ICMP / gRPC
  3. Pick the duration of the check interval. It ranges anywhere from 30 seconds to 1800 seconds.
  4. Enter the resource to be monitored and note any other necessary details.

For HTTP: Enter the HTTP Status Code & select the service check type (GET / POST /DELETE / PATCH / PUT) HTTP Headers & Expected Response are optional.

For TCP & UDP: Enter the port number

For ICMP & GCRP: No additional details needed.

  1. Pick the duration of request timeout which ranges anywhere from 1 second to 180 seconds.

For example, if the check interval is 30 seconds and the request timeout is 5 seconds, Polaris will probe the resource every 30 seconds, and if the expected response is received within 5 seconds, the resource is considered to be online. If not, it will be reflected as downtime and marked as offline.
