Monitor Inventory and Alert Routing Worksheet

A monitoring setup decays quietly. Endpoints get renamed, a check keeps pointing at an old URL, someone leaves and their number stays in the escalation policy. The fix is a single inventory that lists every monitor in one place with its interval, its definition of failure, its alert route, and a named owner. Reviewing that sheet once a month takes less time than one confusing incident, and it makes on-call possible for a small team because the next person can see exactly what each check does and what to do when it fires.

The rows below are examples, not recommendations for your product. Replace the targets with your own endpoints and jobs, and fill in the placeholders. The Public column marks which checks feed the availability number on your status page, a distinction explained in our guide at /guide/. For the interval column, our calculator at /tools/check-interval-detection-time/ turns interval and confirmation settings into an expected detection time, and our checklist for monitoring APIs and webhooks at /blog/monitoring-apis-webhooks-checklist/ covers heartbeat rules for background jobs.
