POST checks/ping
Creates a new Ping check.
Remarks
Use GET checks/ping/locations route to get the list of values applicable for location_code.Use GET groups route to get sub-groups ids applicable monitor_groups_ids.
Thresholds
There is a set of properties (each starts with threshold_) used for thresholds definition. Read more on thresholds here.Scheduled Inclusion/Exclusion
The scheduled_inclusion and scheduled_exclusion parameters define specific day/time ranges when the check will run or not run respectively.If no value specified (or null) it means 'always' for scheduled_inclusion and 'none' for scheduled_exclusion. Read more on the schedule syntax here.
Interval
The interval_seconds field defines the frequency of running check. If no value specified (or null), the check will run with default interval. Set interval_seconds = 0 if the check should run manually.Returns HTTP 201 when created (the Location header must contain URL to the new check).

The name of the check. |
| description | String | No |
The check description. |
| monitor_groups_ids | Array | No |
ID of monitor groups in which a check will be included. |

Check run interval in seconds. |
| interval_manual | Boolean | No |
The flag indicating whether check runmode is manual or interval. |
| max_attempts | Integer | No |
The max number of attempts that can be made to verify the results. This setting applies to the primary location only, not any failover locations. Available values: from 1 to 5. |
| attempt_pause | Integer | No |
Between every attempt there will be an Attempt Pause before the next attempt is performed. Milliseconds. Available values : 0, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 5000, 10000, 20000, 30000, 60000. |
