A monitor has a lifecycle state (is it running?) separate from its operational state (is the target healthy?).
Lifecycle states
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Draft | Created but not yet activated. No scheduled checks. |
| Active | Running on its schedule. |
| Paused | Temporarily stopped. Configuration and history are kept. |
| Archived | Retired. History is preserved, no new checks. |
| Pending deletion / Deleted | Scheduled for removal, then removed. |
For operational states like operational, degraded, and down, see Monitor and incident states reference.
