Short answer

How can I manage my monitor checks with AI?

You can use your AI to create new HTTP/API checks, update existing ones, or delete them entirely. You can also pull a full list of your current monitors to see what's running. This breakdown shows how your agent handles these requests.

Monitoring outcomes

Control your uptime checks

Your AI handles the heavy lifting of configuration changes.

NEW

Instant check creation

Your AI builds new HTTP or API monitors based on your description. You get a new monitor active in your account immediately.

EDIT

Rapid configuration updates

Change URLs, intervals, or alert settings by telling your agent what to fix. The AI applies the changes to your existing monitors.

VIEW

Full monitor visibility

Ask for a summary of everything you're monitoring. Your AI pulls the current list so you can audit your setup in chat.

MANUAL

Human oversight required

You still decide which monitors are critical and which ones to kill. The AI performs the actions, but you maintain the strategy.

The workflow

What your AI does when a request arrives.

The AI translates your natural language into specific API calls to Uptime.com.

  1. Inventory check

    When you ask about your current setup, the AI pulls all active monitors to understand your environment.

    list_checks

  2. New monitor setup

    If you describe a new endpoint that needs watching, the AI builds the configuration for you.

    create_check

  3. Configuration tweaks

    If a monitor needs a new URL or a different check frequency, the AI modifies the existing record.

    update_check

  4. Cleanup

    When a service is retired, the AI removes the corresponding monitor from your list.

    delete_check

FAQ

How the monitor management works

  • 01

    Can the AI create monitors for any URL?

    Yes, as long as you provide the URL and the necessary parameters for an HTTP or API check.

  • 02

    Will the AI delete my monitors without asking?

    No. The AI only executes the delete command when you explicitly instruct it to remove a specific check.

  • 03

    Can the AI change my billing or account settings?

    Can I see a list of all my monitors in the chat?

    Yes, you can ask your AI to list your checks at any time.

  • 05

    No. The AI manages the configuration of the checks. The actual alerting logic is handled by Uptime.com based on the settings the AI applies.
