# Overview

> Scheduled AI monitors and uptime checks for your infrastructure and services.

Paragon Monitoring provides two types of automated checks: AI-powered infrastructure monitors that scan for security issues and code quality, and uptime monitors that track service availability.

## Monitor Types

## Infrastructure Monitors

Run AI prompts on a schedule to scan your infrastructure and code:

| Template               | Description                                    |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **AWS Security Scan**  | Scan for misconfigurations and vulnerabilities |
| **Exposed S3 Buckets** | Find publicly accessible buckets               |
| **Cost Optimization**  | Identify unused resources and savings          |
| **Terraform Drift**    | Detect state vs actual config drift            |
| **Code Quality**       | Check for anti-patterns and issues             |
| **Dependency Scan**    | Find outdated or vulnerable packages           |
| **README Sync**        | Keep README updated with codebase changes      |

Infrastructure monitors connect to your cloud services via MCP integrations (AWS, GCP, Vercel, Supabase, etc.).

### Cadence Options

| Cadence    | When It Runs  |
| ---------- | ------------- |
| **Hourly** | Every hour    |
| **Daily**  | Once per day  |
| **Weekly** | Once per week |

## Uptime Monitors

Track whether your URLs are responding:

* Add any URL (websites, APIs, health endpoints)
* Set check interval (30s, 60s, 5min, etc.)
* Get alerted when services go down
* Track response latency over time

### Status Indicators

| Status      | Meaning                                |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------- |
| **Up**      | URL responding successfully            |
| **Down**    | URL not responding or returning errors |
| **Unknown** | Not yet checked                        |

## Findings

When infrastructure monitors detect issues, they create findings with severity levels:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Critical" icon="circle-exclamation">
    Immediate security threats requiring urgent action
  </Card>

  <Card title="High" icon="triangle-exclamation">
    Important issues requiring attention
  </Card>

  <Card title="Medium" icon="circle-info">
    Moderate issues to review
  </Card>

  <Card title="Low" icon="lightbulb">
    Minor issues and recommendations
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

Findings can be marked as:

* **Open** - Needs attention
* **In Progress** - Being worked on
* **Resolved** - Fixed
* **Ignored** - Not applicable

## Dashboard

The Monitoring dashboard shows:

* **Service Health %** - Percentage of healthy monitors
* **Needs Attention %** - Monitors with issues
* **Active Monitors** - Total monitors running
* **Health trend chart** - Historical view by day/week/month
