## How to use

To add a new monitor, you can go to the "Services" page in the administration panel and click "Add Service Monitor".  

To add a service monitor, you need to complete the following settings:
+ `Name` - Customize a name    

+ `Type` - Select a monitoring type. Nezha currently supports three monitoring types: "HTTP-GET", "ICMP-Ping" and "TCP-Ping".

+ `Target` - Depending on the type you choose, the target is set in different ways
> + `HTTP-GET`: Selecting this type, you should enter a URL as the target, the URL should be added with `http://` or `https://`  **If your target URL is `https://`, it will also monitor the SSL certificate of that URL and trigger a notification when the SSL certificate expires or changes.**  
For example: https://example.com  

> + `ICMP-Ping`: When selecting this type, you should enter a domain name or IP without a port number  
For example: 1.1.1.1 or example.com 

> + `TCP-Ping`: When selecting this type, you should enter a domain name or IP and include the port number  
For example: 1.1.1.1:80 or example.com:22  

+ `Interval`： Sets the time interval in seconds between each time Agent sends requests to the target  

+ `Coverage`： Select a rule to determine which Agents to use to send requests to the target  

+ `Specific Servers`： Use with coverage to select the Agent to be excluded from the rule  

+ `Notification Group`： Select the notification method you have set up on the "Notification" page. [Click here](/en_US/guide/notifications.html#flexible-notification-methods) for more information

+ `Enable Failure Notification`： Select whether to receive target failure notifications as needed, default is inactive  

After setting, click "Add" and you are done.
