Monitor authenticated pages

To monitor pages that require authentication, add an Authorization or Cookie header in your uptime check's HTTP request settings.

See Request Settings for details on configuring custom headers.

Common patterns

Bearer token

Add a header:

• Name: Authorization
• Value: Bearer your-token-here

Session cookie

Add a header:

• Name: Cookie
• Value: session=your-session-cookie-value

Basic auth

Add a header:

• Name: Authorization
• Value: Basic base64-encoded-credentials

To reuse or rotate a credential without editing each check, use a secret environment variable in the header value.
