- What to judge (the runner, a model + prompt, a workflow, or the production output itself)
- How to decide the verdict (the resolution, boolean groups of conditions that map to
error/warning/pass) - What to watch (one or more targets (intents, workflows, or agents) each with its own sample rate)
Where to manage Monitors
In the Portal, go toTest > Monitors.
From there you can:
- Create a new Monitor (
+ New Monitor) - Open any existing Monitor to edit configuration, attach/detach targets, publish versions, and view recent runs
- Pause sampling or activate a Monitor without deleting it
How Monitors compare to Sentinels
Use Sentinels when you want to evaluate every request for a specific Intent Group with an LLM judge. Use Monitors when you want to sample across higher-level surfaces (intents, workflows, agents), use a workflow or a direct rule as the judge, or watch the same kind of failure across multiple resources.
Monitor lifecycle
- Draft: newly created or edited Monitors land here. Sampling is off.
- Active: sampling fires for every attached target at its configured rate.
- Paused: Monitor exists and keeps history, but no new runs are produced until reactivated.
has_unpublished_changes=true. You can publish a version when you’re ready to freeze a snapshot for review or rollback.
Next: Configuration.
