Documented steps

  1. Call the run-monitor operation on /v2/monitor/{monitorId} to trigger an immediate check (SDK: run_monitor).
  2. Use this to validate a new monitor works before it hits its scheduled cadence.
  3. Poll the checks API (GET /v2/monitor/{monitorId}/checks) until the newest check status is completed or failed.
  4. Inspect the check's per-page statuses and diffs to confirm behavior is as expected.
