POST checks/proxysniffer
Creates a new ZebraTester check.
Remarks
Use GET checks/proxysniffer/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.
Use GET timezones route to get timezones id applicabletimezone_id.
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).
