Summary

Control an existing website monitor by pausing, resuming, triggering an immediate check, or deleting it.

Inputs

  • Monitor ID (required) — The ID of the monitor to control, obtained from the List Monitors or Create Monitor operations.
  • Action (required) — The control action to perform on the monitor: Pause (stop scheduled checks), Resume (restart scheduled checks), Run Now (immediate check, billed like a normal check), or Delete (remove the monitor and its history permanently).

Output shape

a single object containing the success status, the monitor ID, the action performed, and any additional response data from the API.

Requires a valid Monitor ID. The action POSTs or DELETEs to the API accordingly and returns the updated monitor control status in the output. Errors are thrown if the Monitor ID is missing or an unknown action is specified.

Examples

Example 1: Pause a monitor

Set Monitor ID to a valid monitor's ID and Action to 'Pause'. The node will stop scheduled checks for that monitor.

Example 2: Run immediate check

Set Monitor ID to the monitor's ID and Action to 'Run Now'. The node triggers an immediate out-of-schedule check for the monitor, which counts as a billed check.
