"Last checked X ago" looks wrong
The dashboard’s “last checked” label shows the time of the monitor’s most recent check result - including while a monitor is in an ongoing down (or otherwise changed) state. If you see a much larger value than the check interval, the monitor most likely hasn’t produced a result yet (for example, a brand-new monitor before its first check has run).
What to check if you’re unsure
Section titled “What to check if you’re unsure”- Open the monitor’s results / check log - it shows the timestamp of every individual check, which is always accurate.
- If the monitor is currently down, the incident record shows when the outage actually started and how it’s progressing.
Do it with the API
Section titled “Do it with the API”GET /monitor/{id}?expand=lastResult returns the monitor’s newest result inline, with its own timestamp -
compare that against what the dashboard shows. For the full history, GET /monitor/{id}/result (or MCP
list_monitor_results) lists every individual check, newest first, each with its own accurate timestamp.
