Infrastructure & API

Globally distributed probes with multi-region consensus, self-hostable Node worker probes, a tiered data pipeline and a token-authenticated REST API in m0nitor.

Frequently asked questions

Where do m0nitor probes run?

Probe locations include Frankfurt, Amsterdam, New York and Tokyo, with more regions available.

How does multi-region consensus work?

A failing check is re-run from independent regions and an incident is only opened once the failure is reproduced.

Can I self-host a probe?

Yes - the worker is a small Node app you register with a shared secret; it then joins the fleet while the hosted control plane keeps dashboards, incidents and status pages.

How long is data retained?

Raw checks 24 hours, batched archives 7 days, daily rollups 365 days.

How is the API authenticated and rate-limited?

The API uses token authentication, with sensible per-token rate limits on worker endpoints.
