Regions

Where a check runs from.

A region is a named location checks run from — for example local, or a geography you add with a remote worker. Each region is served by one or more workers.

Manage regions in the dashboard. Assign a rule to specific regions from the dashboard, or over the REST API and Python SDK with the rule’s regions field (region names). The region-management UI is being reworked, so expect it to change.

A rule with no region is never checked — it stays at “No Data” forever. Assign at least one region to every rule you want monitored. This applies to rules created in the UI, over the REST API, and via import.
