-Sentry's [**Uptime Monitoring**](/product/alerts/uptime-monitoring/) helps you maintain uptime for your web services by monitoring relevant URLs. It continuously tracks configured URLs, delivering alerts and insights to quickly identify downtime and troubleshoot issues. By leveraging [distributed tracing](/product/alerts/uptime-monitoring/uptime-tracing/), Sentry enables you to pinpoint any errors that occur during an uptime check, simplifying triage and accelerating root cause analysis.

 ## Issue Lifecycle
 
-Uptime issues are grouped by the monitored URL and created upon the first detected downtime. Sentry automatically resolves an ongoing uptime issue when the monitored URL returns to a healthy status and meets our [uptime check criteria](/product/alerts/uptime-monitoring/#uptime-check-criteria). If the URL experiences subsequent downtime, the issue's status will change to regressed.

 To avoid creating flaky alerts, the hostname undergoes an "onboarding period" of three days. During this period, we send HTTP requests to the hostname every hour. If the request fails three times or more, the hostname will be dropped and re-evaluated after seven days.
