How to Edit a Check’s Frequency

Rigor Monitoring has three different types of checks that allow us to customize the frequency of runs:

• Real Browser Checks
• Uptime Checks, and
• API Checks

By default, Benchmark Checks run once daily and Content Checks crawl once weekly.

Each type of check has a set of default frequency settings from which to choose. To choose a check frequency:

1. From a table of checks or a check’s read screen, click the action cog > Edit to access settings for a check
2. Find the Frequency dropdown menu on the ‘Basic’ tab
3. Select a Frequency > Save
