Using Bulk Actions on Monitors

Pulsetic's Bulk Actions feature allows you to efficiently manage multiple monitors simultaneously, saving you valuable time and effort. Instead of performing the same action on each monitor individually, you can select several at once and apply a change across the board. This tutorial will guide you through using the Bulk Actions functionality on your Monitors page.

How to Use Bulk Actions

Step 1: Select the Monitors for Bulk Action

1. Log in to your Pulsetic dashboard and navigate to the Monitors page.
2. To choose the monitors you want to apply a bulk action to, locate the checkbox that appears to the left of each monitor in the list. There are two options to select the monitors:
   • If you want to apply the action to all your current monitors, simply check the topmost checkbox (beside the Name) in the header. This will select all monitors on the current page.
   • To select only certain monitors, individually check the box next to each monitor you wish to include in the bulk action.

Step 2: Choose Your Desired Bulk Action

1. Once you have selected one or more monitors, a Bulk Actions dropdown menu will appear at the bottom of your monitors list. Select this dropdown to reveal the available actions.

The Bulk Actions dropdown will present you with the following options:

• Add tags
• Pause
• Start
• Delete
• Reset
• Enable
• Notifications

Add tags

• Selecting this option will open a field where you can enter one or more tags.
• Any tags you enter will be added to all the selected monitors. This is useful for categorizing and organizing your monitors efficiently.

Pause

• This option is shown when one or more of the selected monitors are currently running. Choosing the Pause option will temporarily stop the monitoring checks for all the selected monitors.
• The monitors will retain their configuration but will not perform any new checks until they are started again.

Start

• This option is shown if at least one of the selected monitors is currently paused. Selecting the Start option will resume monitoring checks for all the selected monitors that were previously paused.

Delete

• Choosing the Delete option will permanently remove all the selected monitors from your Pulsetic account.

Reset

• Selecting the Reset option will reset the statistics (like uptime, downtime, and response time history) for all the selected monitors.
• The monitor configurations and alert settings will remain unchanged. You will also be prompted with a confirmation message.

Enable

• This option appears if you have monitors that are currently disabled. Selecting the Enable option will activate monitoring checks for all the selected disabled monitors.

Notifications

• Hovering over Notifications option will open a sub-menu showing all the ways you can get alerts that you want to set up in Pulsetic (like Email, SMS/Calls, Slack, Telegram, Webhook, etc.).
• Select the type of alert you want to add to the monitors you've selected.
• A pop-up window will then appear where you can enter the specific details for that alert type:
  • For Email, you can type in the email address.
  • For SMS/Calls, you can input the phone number.
  • For Telegram, you'll be prompted to connect to your Telegram account.
  • For Twilio (used for SMS/Calls), you'll input your Twilio number.
  • For Webhook services like Slack, Webhook, SIGNL4, Discord, and Microsoft Teams, you'll paste the relevant webhook URL.
• Once you've entered the information in the pop-up and confirmed, that alert method will be enabled for all the monitors you initially selected.
