PUT / DELETE Update & Delete Monitor

Update a monitor's configuration or delete it

Update a monitor. The body is the same shape as Create — send the full desired configuration, not a partial patch.

Path Parameters

Request Body

Identical to Create Monitor. A few notes on update semantics:

• Signing secret is preserved. Changing alertWebhookUrl keeps the existing alertWebhookSecret; a secret is only generated the first time you add a webhook.
• Changing watchMode or watchFormat re-baselines the monitor — stored snapshots are cleared so the next check starts fresh (no spurious "changed" alert).
• Pausing: send "isActive": false (or use the dedicated pause endpoint).

Response

Returns the updated Monitor object. 404 not_found if it isn't yours; 400 invalid_request on validation failure.

Permanently delete a monitor and all of its snapshots and change history. This cannot be undone.

Response

{ "success": true }

Returns 404 not_found if the monitor doesn't exist or isn't yours.
