Monitor
Monitor rules
Control how often blacklist checks run: org-wide defaults, per-asset overrides, and separate deliverability schedules.
Monitor rules live in two places: the workspace-level Monitor rules page (under Monitor in the sidebar) and each asset's Monitor rules tab. Both work together; neither replaces the other.
Org-wide blacklist rules
Org admins (with Settings permission) set the default check interval for blacklist scans across all assets, for example every 6 hours or every 24 hours.
- New assets inherit this default unless you give them a custom interval.
- Your plan defines the minimum interval (fastest allowed). You cannot schedule checks more frequently than your tier permits.
- Apply to all assets pushes the org default to every asset schedule at once. Useful after a plan upgrade.
- Pause all stops scheduled blacklist checks workspace-wide while keeping assets and history intact.
Per-asset blacklist rules
On any asset → Monitor rules tab you can override the org default for that asset alone:
- Set a custom interval (still respecting plan minimum)
- Pause or resume monitoring for just that domain or IP
- See the next scheduled check time
High-value sending domains might need hourly checks; parked domains might use a slower interval to conserve quota.
Deliverability monitor rules (separate)
Deliverability uses its own monitor per asset. Rules appear in the same Monitor rules UI under a dedicated Deliverability section:
- Interval for MX / SMTP / DNS probes (independent from blacklist interval)
- Connection timeout for SMTP probes (advanced: default works for most mail hosts)
- DKIM selectors to probe when you use custom selectors
- Pause/resume deliverability monitoring without deleting the monitor
Deliverability must be enabled first on the Deliverability tab. Until then, deliverability rules have nothing to schedule.

Relationship to alerts
Monitor rules control when we look. Alerts control who gets notified when something changes. A slower interval means slightly delayed detection but lower probe volume.
