Pause website monitor
Need to temporarily stop tracking a website without removing it entirely? Use the Pause Monitor feature to halt status updates without losing the monitor from your list.
Why use pause monitor?
- Ideal during scheduled maintenance or when making known changes, so you avoid unnecessary alerts.
- Prevents repeated notifications during intermittent downtimes that you're already aware of.
How to pause a website monitor
- Head to your monitor list and locate the website you want to pause.
- Click the three-dots context menu next to the site’s name.
- Select Pause Monitor.
- The monitor will be greyed out and show a pause icon on your board.
- It remains in your list—so you can restart monitoring anytime.
- On your status page, the most recent status stays visible but no new updates will be sent, nor will subscribers get notifications.
How to resume monitoring
- Go back to the monitor list and find the paused site.
- Click the three-dots menu again.
- Select Resume Monitor.
Monitoring will resume immediately from where it left off.
