Wire → Control Monitor

AI-generated

Summary

Perform control actions on an existing website monitor by specifying its monitor ID and choosing to pause, resume, run an immediate check, or delete the monitor.

Inputs

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

Output shape

a single JSON object containing confirmation of the action performed, including success status, monitor ID, the action taken, and any additional API response fields.

Errors are thrown if the Monitor ID is missing or the action is unknown. The response confirms success and includes operational details returned by the API.

Examples

Example 1: Pause a monitor to temporarily stop its scheduled checks.

Set Monitor ID to the target monitor's ID and Action to 'Pause'. After execution, the monitor will no longer run scheduled checks until resumed.

Example 2: Run an immediate check on a monitor outside its schedule.

Set Monitor ID and select Action as 'Run Now' to trigger an on-demand check, which will be billed like a normal scheduled check.
