Hi.
So i have 34 monitors right now and sometimes they rearrange themselves. I have set up webhooks for Slack to get separate notifications for each monitor.
Is there a way for distill to make sure it looks for a specific text/box?
Been playing around the tools and I see that Templates could possibly help but I only get a loading screen.
Hello @areviztim, welcome to the community forum!
Do the elements in pages change order causing issues with notifications? Can you show an example so that I can understand the issue? Thanks!
Do the elements in pages change order causing issues with notifications? – yes! each monitor has a specific slack workspace it sends notifications to so it messes up with the notifications. example:
It could be possible to create a selector that matches a specific box using XPath. Can you attach the source of the webpage? I can try to create an XPath expression that can monitor a specific block based on its name.
Hi! Do you mean the link to the webpage? Unfortunately it’s for work and I am unable to post it here since it requires logins.
Does the show config of the monitor help?
Thank you! I really appreciate your assistance on this.

I don’t need live access to the apge. If you can save the webpage and share that, that should be enough. If the webpage’s content are sensitive, you can DM it to me.
Hey! Thanks so much. Been trying to figure out how to message you privately but I can’t find it lol.
Is it possible for you to message me first then I can send the file? Thanks!
If you are not able to DM because of the trust level, can you please attach the file here? You can remove it later. Thanks!
As an test, can you try monitoring a specific section using the following config? This one should not affect the monitored section when other sections are removed or added.
{
"selections": [
{
"frames": [
{
"index": 0,
"excludes": [],
"includes": [
{
"type": "xpath",
"expr": "//div[@id='Jarvis_QueryClassification_th-TH']"
}
]
}
],
"dynamic": true,
"delay": 2
}
],
"ignoreEmptyText": true,
"includeStyle": false,
"dataAttr": "text"
}
Let me know if this doesn’t work or if you need any assistance.
Refined config to get what you want:
{
"selections": [
{
"frames": [
{
"index": 0,
"excludes": [],
"includes": [
{
"type": "xpath",
"expr": "//div[@id='Jarvis_QueryClassification_th-TH']//*[contains(@class,'nontrans')]"
},
{
"type": "xpath",
"expr": "//div[@id='Jarvis_QueryClassification_th-TH']//*[@class='badge']"
}
]
}
],
"dynamic": true,
"delay": 2
}
],
"ignoreEmptyText": true,
"includeStyle": false,
"dataAttr": "text"
}
Cheers!
YOU. ARE. AWESOME!
Thank you so much!
Hello.
I know this query has been resolved but lately, I keep getting email notifications about errors saying “Action Required! Errors Monitoring ”
I recently upgraded to Flexi so I could use shorter intervals for cloud checks. But I noticed it keeps turning the monitors off when it can’t find the specific box I’m monitoring. This doesn’t happen when I use check thru local device but since it’s eating up a lot of my RAM, I switched to Cloud.
Just like what I said before, since the elements are dynamic, sometimes they’re not on the page. I want it to continuously check until it appears and returns the data that I need.
Is there any way to do that without having to use local device monitor?
Cloud monitors are turned off automatically on SELECTION_EMPTY errors to conserve checks and flag potential issues. In case this is an expected state where none of the elements match temporarily, a simple solution is to include a static part of the page in selection. Page’s title is usually a good one. Does that make sense?
