Force a monitoring job status up or down
You can change the up/down status of a monitoring job manually within the monitor settings. The forced status is reflected in any answer metadata being updated by this monitoring job where it can be used to prevent or allow traffic to the monitored endpoint.
Before you begin
- You must have the Edit monitoring jobs permission enabled.
- You must have the Manage data feeds permission enabled.
- You must pause the monitoring job to prevent future probes from reverting the manual status change.
About this task
Forcing an up or down status does not change the status of the monitoring job itself. Instead, it changes the status of the data feed associated with the monitoring job.
