Build monitoring into your product.: Create checks during provisioning, sync status into internal dashboards, or wire OnlineOrNot into your deployment workflow so new services are monitored from day one.
Plain HTTP, no ceremony.: The API is designed to be used directly from scripts, servers, and generated clients.
Automate incident plumbing.: Use the API for workflows that should not depend on a human clicking through the dashboard, such as creating webhooks or pulling check state into an internal tool.
Keep the dashboard for humans.: The dashboard is still there for setup, investigation, and team workflows. The API gives you the same monitoring system when code should be in charge.
