In ATA, configuring a monitor allows you to automate health checks for your APIs by running an API collection on a set schedule. You start by selecting your API collection and the environment (such as Production or Staging), then set how often the monitor should run every few minutes, hourly, or daily. You can also configure retry logic to handle temporary failures and set up notifications via email or webhooks for instant alerts when issues are detected. This proactive monitoring helps teams catch problems early, ensures ongoing API reliability, and frees you from manual health checks by providing continuous, automated oversight.
