Workspaces

A workspace owns rules, members and the alert webhook.

A workspace groups rules, the people who can access them, and the alert webhook. Every rule belongs to one workspace.

Members have a role:

• owner — manage the workspace and its rules
• editor — manage rules
• viewer — read-only

A separate account-level admin role manages server-wide things: workers, locations and settings.

Export & import

Export a workspace to a YAML file from Workspace → Settings → Export. It contains every monitor (target, interval, expected response) and, for each one, the names of the locations it runs in — under the key regions, which is the file format’s name for them and is not changing. Import it from Workspace → Import.

Import always creates a new workspace — it never merges into an existing one — keeping the name from the file. So importing a Default export gives you a second workspace also called Default; rename it afterwards if you like.

Locations are matched by name against the ones configured on the target instance:

• Each monitor re-attaches to the locations whose names match, so a like-named setup round-trips cleanly.
• If a name doesn’t exist here, the monitor is topped up from your other locations so it keeps the same number it had — never more.
• If you have fewer locations than a monitor needs, it gets all of them.
• If the instance has no locations at all, monitors import with none and sit at No Data until you add one and assign it — the importer warns you when this happens.

The location assignments travel by name, but the locations and workers themselves don’t — set those up on the target instance first for a clean import.
