FAQ

Can I set up Monitis to be tied to multiple PagerDuty services?

Yes. A PagerDuty service is associated with a Monitis contact. You can have multiple Monitis contacts for different PagerDuty services.

Are incidents automatically resolved in PagerDuty?

Yes.

Is there a retry mechanism if the API call does not return a 200 (success)?

Monitis retries 3 times in case the request to the PagerDuty API fails.

What happens when there are continuous alerts from Monitis?

Continuous alerting is not supported by PagerDuty. If continuous alerts are being triggered for your monitor, then PagerDuty will trigger an incident based on the first problem alert. The rest of the alerts can be viewed in the incident logs of the initial incident.
