What is monitoring as code and how does it manage API checks?

Monitoring as code defines API checks, browser checks, and alert channels in checkly.config.ts and *.check.ts files, deploying them through the Checkly CLI for reproducible, version-controlled infrastructure monitoring.

How do I set up heartbeat monitors and status pages with the Checkly CLI?

Set up heartbeat monitors and status pages by configuring them in checkly.config.ts and deploying with the Checkly CLI, creating real-time observability dashboards for your endpoints.

Can I integrate monitoring checks into a CI/CD pipeline?

Yes, integrate monitoring checks into CI/CD pipelines by running npx checkly test to validate configurations before deployment, ensuring team collaboration and consistent monitoring across projects.

Do I need a specific project structure to run Checkly CLI checks?

Yes, the Checkly CLI requires a standard project structure including checkly.config.ts at the root and check files organized under src/__checks__ using *.check.ts or *.spec.ts extensions to function.

What types of monitors can I deploy using a monitoring as code workflow?

Deploy API checks, browser checks, URL monitors, Playwright checks, heartbeat monitors, alert channels, dashboards, and status pages using a monitoring as code workflow via the Checkly CLI.
