Possibility to choose location that the service is monitored from#40

?

is it possible to set the location from where to check? for example, my resource needs to be checked only from one country.

Possibility to be able to select multiple locations in a specified region to check from, in a representative location where warm CDN nodes and most customers of the checked service are located.

It would be awesome to expand on this idea and also implement the ability to monitor a service from multiple regions simulataneously, as well as have separate graphs for response time broken-down by each region for a service.

This would be particularly useful for Anycast networks and identifying routing issues in different parts of the world.

Great idea, the latency it shows is too high, definately not pinging from my local country.

I Created a health check for monitoring API availability.
The Api’s we are using for stock and price reside in one region while the application and database server resides in another (Ireland).

The API response in the local region is 8 seconds, however when querying the API from Ireland the response time is close to 30 seconds.

This causes the serverless environment with lambdas to time out.
Meaning the Monitor is actaully providing a false positive.

This in many cases will be crucial for monitoring requirements as the up time montitor is not a true reflection of availability.

Any idea when this is planned? I think this is a key feature though.

This is a must have feature, the advertisment on the website says “checks from multiple localtions” nothing to see about this. there are no infos from wich server the test was made the last time. further the reported pings are way to high, this is bad advertisment on my own page now ;-(

I agree. We sometimes have false positives because of timeouts while our other service (who is much nearer) does not report any problems

The second this is done I’ll purchase a paid plan. Right now we’re getting hungup in firewall hell from offshore (non-US) servers
