Multi-Region Monitoring

Configure monitors to check from multiple geographic regions to detect regional outages and improve reliability.

Prerequisites

  • An existing monitor or the ability to create one

1. Select Multiple Regions

When creating or editing a monitor, use the region selector to choose multiple locations.

  1. Navigate to the monitor’s settings
  2. In the Region section, click to select additional regions
  3. Selected regions show as highlighted buttons

2. Understand Status Calculation

With multiple regions selected, the monitor’s overall status reflects the combined results:

Overall Status Regional Results
Success All regions report success
Partial Some regions succeed, some fail
Fail All regions report failure

This helps distinguish between a localized network issue and a global outage.

3. Review Regional Results

Each monitor displays per-region status in its detail view:

  1. Navigate to Monitors and select a monitor
  2. View the status breakdown showing each region’s current state
  3. Check the event log for historical regional status changes

Result

Your monitor now checks from multiple locations. Regional failures appear as Partial status, while complete outages show as Fail.

When to Use Multi-Region

Recommended for:

  • Customer-facing services with global users
  • APIs that should be accessible worldwide
  • Critical infrastructure requiring redundant verification
  • Services where you need to distinguish regional from global issues

Consider single region for:

  • Internal services accessed from one location
  • Development or staging environments
  • Services with known regional restrictions
