POST checks/url-v2

Creates a new URL check (version 2).

Remarks

Use GET checks/url-v2/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 list of timezones timezone.

Check can include content verification: it fails if response content doesn’t match the content_pattern.
Content verification can be literal (content_pattern_type = 'literal') or regular expression (content_pattern_type = 'regex').
The field content_pattern_case_sensitive indicates whether content verification is case-sensitive or not. If not specified than default value is false.

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).
