SLOW Failed check: alerts, never counted as downtime

Response slower than the limit

The target answered correctly, but later than the response-time limit set on the monitor.

What it usually means

The target answered correctly, but slower than the response-time limit set on this monitor. This is a performance threshold, not an outage.

What to check first

How ErrorDetector reports it

The target answered, so this is reported as a failed check, not downtime: the alert names the reason, the uptime percentage is untouched, and a recovery notice follows when the check passes again.
