Configure confirmation and recovery notifications
Use failure threshold and recovery notifications to reduce false alerts and tell responders when a service is healthy again. The guide follows the same monitor workflow used in the dashboard, so you can create, pause, remove, and troubleshoot monitors with confidence.
Failure threshold
Failure threshold is the number of consecutive failed checks required before Statixoup creates a downtime incident and sends the alert. This confirmation step helps avoid alerts for brief network blips.
- Failure threshold must be at least 2.
- A lower threshold detects confirmed downtime sooner.
- A higher threshold waits longer before alerting and can reduce noise for unstable endpoints.
Recovery notifications
Recovery Notifications sends a follow-up message after the service returns online. This helps responders know when the outage has cleared without keeping the dashboard open.
Configure alert behavior

Balance speed and confidence
Critical services usually need a low threshold and recovery notifications enabled. Noisy endpoints may need investigation before increasing the threshold.
