Hello! Im wondering if theres any way to monitor a site, even when my pc is off. Im not on my computer alot, but I still want it to monitor. How do I do this?
@leoresell Yes — you can absolutely do that.
To monitor a site even when your PC is off, you’ll want to use Cloud Monitors in Distill.
How it works
-
Cloud monitors run on Distill’s servers, not your computer
-
They continue checking pages 24/7, even when your PC is turned off
-
You’ll receive alerts via email, Slack, webhooks, etc., whenever a change is detected
How to set it up
-
Add a new monitor using the Distill web app
-
When saving the monitor, choose Cloud as the device
-
Set your preferred check frequency and notification method

For most public webpages, cloud monitoring is the best option if you’re not on your computer often.
