Summary

The docs incorrectly described when and how quickly a private location gets flagged as unavailable.

What was wrong

  1. Missing condition: The previous text implied any private location with no agents for 10 min gets flagged. In reality, the location must also be assigned to at least one check for the detection job to run.
  2. Wrong timing: Docs said "more than 10 minutes" suggests detection at exactly 10 min. Actual worst-case is up to 20 minutes: the cron job runs every 10 min and requires agents to have been absent for the full preceding 10-min window.

Changes

  • Added the missing "assigned to at least one check" condition
  • Clarified that detection can take up to 20 minutes, with a brief explanation of why

Context

  • Support ticket: IT-1024 / FUN-810
  • Confirmed by Immanuel in #support-requests Slack thread

… timing

- Add missing condition: location must be assigned to at least one check
  for unavailability detection to trigger
- Fix timing claim: detection takes up to 20 min (10-min agent window +
  10-min cron interval), not exactly 10 min

If a private location has had no Checkly agents connected for more than 10 minutes, it will be flagged as unavailable. Checkly will email account owners and admins that the location has become unavailable.
A private location is flagged as unavailable when it is assigned to at least one check and has had no Checkly agents connected for more than 10 minutes. Checkly will email account owners and admins when this happens.

Detection can take up to 20 minutes in the worst case: the system evaluates agent connectivity every 10 minutes and requires agents to have been absent for the full preceding 10-minute window.
