Frequency and locations

[Babar_Qayyum]

Dear All,

While reading, the below bold statement is confusing me.

The frequency and number of locations determine the number of monitor executions per hour. For example, running a monitor from 3 locations every 15 minutes results in 12 executions per hour. Browser monitors are evenly spaced, running at 5-minute intervals.

Is this mean that the URL will be accessed every 5 minutes from 3 different locations? 

What will happen, if we select 5 or 10 minutes frequency for 3 different locations?

Regards,

Babar

Hi @Babar_Qayyum 

From our experience till now, if you pick 5 locations with frequency of 5 minutes you will get a check every minute from different location. Can guess that for 3 locations you will get a check every 1.66 minute each time from different location.

Hello @Yosi_Neuman 

Thank you for your comments. So in this situation, the following statement should be correct that the URL will be accessed every 5 minutes from 3 different locations with 15 minutes frequency configurations. 

The frequency and number of locations determine the number of monitor executions per hour. For example, running a monitor from 3 locations every 15 minutes results in 12 executions per hour. Browser monitors are evenly spaced, running at 5-minute intervals.

Hi @Babar_Qayyum 

Yep this is right.

You can see that after choosing 15 minutes time farm and 3 locations, then go all the way down to the bottom of the page and you will see the follows message:

Hello @Yosi_Neuman 

Once again thank you for your prompt reply. 

If we are referring to the 12 times per hour execution, then the 3 x 4 = 12 also makes 12 executions in an hour even if they simultaneously execute (15 x 4 = 60 minutes).
