Glossary

This glossary clarifies terminology used in the documentation and UI. Where applicable, the API schema name is shown as a synonym.

Group

Definition: A named grouping of checks used to organise monitoring within a project.

API schemas and paths sometimes refer to this entity as Area. When reading API reference pages, treat Area as equivalent to Group.

See: Project Groups

Check

Definition: A single monitoring action that evaluates a condition (for example, an HTTP check or Redirect check).

API schemas and paths sometimes refer to this entity as Test. When reading API reference pages, treat Test as equivalent to Check.

See: Get test, Project results

Rule

Definition: Evaluation or threshold parameters applied to a Check/Test (for example, HTML title tag matches "some pattern").

See: Get test

Project

Definition: The top-level entity containing Groups/Areas and Checks/Tests.

See: Get project

Status / Simplified status

Definition: Project status endpoints provide an overview of a project's health. The /simple-status endpoint returns a smaller, easier-to-consume representation.
