Monitoring from infrastructure that is separate from where your application is hosted gives an unbiased perspective of your application health and performance, resulting in a more realistic picture of application availability and end-to-end performance for end-users.

Currently newly created monitors take ~2-3 min before

The TLS monitor report will always source from US-EAST-1 within the reference page. This will be the case regardless of what regions the performance and health monitors you have running are set to.

The TLS report for a given HTTPs monitor is generated one time every 24 hours.

The overall TLS score comes from the SSL Lab's Server Rating Guide. You can view a detailed explanation of the specification here.

Monitor Executions represents the number of individual times a monitor has been run across all configured regions. The 3 factors that determine the monthly consumption for a monitor are:

• Number of Regions for the monitor
• Interval of the Monitor in minutes

Formula: (1440 (Minutes in a day) / <interval>) * (<Number of regions>) = Executions per day

Monitor Executions per interval per day:

Examples for a single monitor using a 1 min interval:

• 1440 (executions per day) x 1 Region x ~30 days in a month = 43,200
• 1440 (executions per day) x 3 Regions x ~30 days in a month = 129,600

Examples for a single monitor using a 5min interval:

• 288 (executions per day) x 1 Region x ~30 days in a month = 8,640
• 288 (executions per day) x 3 Regions x ~30 days in a month = 25,920
