Groups let you organise monitored resources into logical buckets, each with its own check frequency and notification recipient list. Use them when different parts of your sending infrastructure need different attention levels.
Groups are configured under ToolsBlacklist MonitoringSettingsGroups. Each group can hold any number of IPs and domains. Resources without a group fall back to default settings.

What a group carries

Each group has four attributes: Resources inherit their group’s check frequency and notification list. A resource without a group uses the default check frequency (daily) and the default notification list configured under Settings.

Why groups matter

Two reasons to group resources:
  • Different check frequencies for different priorities. Production sending IPs might need daily checks; rarely-used backup IPs are fine on weekly. Splitting the cost-versus-coverage decision per resource saves credits without dropping critical coverage.
  • Different alert recipients for different teams. Marketing’s IPs alert the marketing operations team; transactional IPs alert the engineering on-call.
A common shape:

Create a group

1

Open Settings → Groups

Inside the project, open ToolsBlacklist MonitoringSettings. Scroll to the Groups section.
2

Add a group

Choose Add group, then complete:
  • Group name (required).
  • Description (optional).
  • Check frequency (Daily or Weekly).
  • Notification emails (optional, up to 10).
3

Save

Save. The group is now available in the group dropdown when adding or editing IPs and domains.

Edit a group

1

Open the group

In SettingsGroups, find the group and use the row’s overflow action to pick Edit.
2

Change attributes

Update name, description, frequency, or notifications.
3

Save

Save. Resources already in the group pick up the new settings on the next scheduled check.

Delete a group

Deleting a group doesn’t delete its resources; it ungroup them.
1

Open the row menu

Use the row’s overflow action on the group.
2

Delete

Pick Delete and confirm. Resources that were in the group revert to default check frequency and the default notification list.

Move resources between groups

To move a resource into a different group, edit the resource (not the group). Open the row menu on the IP or domain, pick Edit, and choose the new group. To bulk-move many resources at once, see Bulk actions.

Group check schedules

Groups run on fixed UTC schedules. The exact times: Manual checks via Check now ignore the schedule and run immediately. The last-checked timestamp on each resource reflects whichever was most recent: scheduled or manual.
