Alerting

To alert you to any problems, an email and/or SMS notification can be sent when the Check fails and subsequently reports back in.

You can setup the default alerting behavior or choose how individual Check notifications are handled when adding or editing Checks on the Dashboard (including multiple devices), or from the Checks South-pane.
