Manage private checkpoints

Manage private checkpoints

You can manage your private checkpoints from Private locations in the Uptrends web application.

Install private checkpoints

After creating a private location, two unconfigured checkpoints are added by default. To install and host these checkpoints on your servers, see Install a Docker checkpoint.

Add a private checkpoint

You can add more private checkpoints to your location as needed:

1. Go to Private locations.
2. Click Add checkpoint.
3. Select the monitor group to track. This creates a health monitor for the private location status.

The checkpoint is now created in the Uptrends web application. To activate it, you must install the checkpoint on your server.
