Welcome to the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section for the API Monitoring documentation. Below you will find answers to common questions related to our API monitoring tools and services.
General Questions
What is API Monitoring?
API Monitoring is a service that allows you to keep track of the performance and availability of your APIs. It helps in identifying issues and ensures that your APIs are always up and running.
How does API Monitoring work?
API Monitoring works by sending periodic requests to your APIs and checking their responses. If any issues are detected, such as timeouts or errors, you will be notified immediately.
Setup and Configuration
How do I set up API Monitoring?
To set up API Monitoring, you need to:
- Sign up for an account on our platform.
- Add your API endpoint to the monitoring list.
- Configure the monitoring settings, such as the frequency of checks and the types of alerts you want to receive.
Can I monitor multiple APIs?
Absolutely! You can monitor as many APIs as you need on our platform. Just add them to your monitoring list and configure their settings accordingly.
Troubleshooting
Why am I receiving false positives in my API Monitoring alerts?
False positives can occur due to various reasons, such as network issues or temporary outages. To minimize false positives, ensure that your monitoring settings are properly configured and that you have set up the appropriate thresholds.
What should I do if my API is down?
If your API is down, the first step is to check if it's a network issue or a problem with the API itself. Once you've identified the cause, take the necessary steps to resolve it. In the meantime, you can use our API Monitoring service to keep track of the status and notify your team about the issue.
