Change Uptime Monitor Status

Toggle the operational status of an existing uptime monitor by enabling or disabling it as needed. This endpoint gives teams fine-grained control over monitoring activity — allowing them to pause or resume checks without permanently deleting the monitor.

To update the status, include the monitor_id in the path and provide the enabled flag in the request body, set to true to activate the monitor or false to deactivate it.

When to use this:
  • Scheduled maintenance — Temporarily disable monitoring to avoid false-positive alerts during planned downtimes.
  • Service deactivation — Pause monitoring for services that are temporarily offline or in standby mode.
  • Reactivation — Re-enable monitors once the related service is stable and ready to be tracked again.

This functionality is useful for reducing alert noise, maintaining clean uptime logs, and ensuring accurate incident tracking without losing historical data tied to the monitor.
