ControlUp

ControlUp Scouts API

Scouts are the proactive tests that you configure to monitor the availability and health of various resources. There are different types of Scouts, depending on the type of resource you want to test. Within each type, there are sub-types which determine which test is performed and the available test configuration options. Scouts are initiated from Hives, which are either hosted in the cloud (Cloud Hives), or installed on-premises (Custom Hives).
