Add bulk URLs for monitoring

You can now submit multiple URLs at once for monitoring using our bulk addition feature. This can help you save time and simplify the process of bulk monitor creation.

Use case

Imagine that you want to add your sitemap for monitoring; you also want to monitor newly added URLs on the sitemap and delete URLs that were removed from the sitemap. You can easily achieve this by adding your sitemap under the Continuous Check option. Apart from this, you can also submit your URLs as a file or add them manually.

Supported monitor types

Website and Web Page Speed (Browser) monitors

To add URLs as website monitors, you can:

1. Log in to Site24x7.
2. Navigate to Admin > Add Monitor > Website.
3. In the new Add Monitor form that opens, provide the necessary details and click Add Bulk URL next to the Webpage URL field.

5. Continuous Check: You can submit your sitemap, URLs in CSV format, and URLs for monitoring using this option.
   • Sitemap: Say you have a sitemap where many URLs are listed; you can submit the sitemap URL along with a rediscovery interval or frequency for the sitemap to be checked. This can help in automatically adding or removing the URLs that were added or removed since the last check. Moreover, a monitor added for a URL will be suspended when the URL is removed from the sitemap. Also, the monitors will be added in bulk based on your license limit. When URLs are added, they will be crawled for monitoring.
   • URL: You can also submit your URLs.
