Review results

Inspect saved checks, explore readings in charts, and understand missing results.

Open a monitor’s History tab to inspect individual checks, or Charts to see readings over time. Both use results saved by Check now and scheduled checks. Test step previews are temporary and do not appear here.

Inspect a check in History

History lists checks newest first. Each row shows the check’s start date and time, outcome, duration, and readings or an error.

  1. Find the check you want to review. Use Load older checks at the bottom for earlier entries.
  2. Review its readings. If the row has more than five, choose Show N more to reveal the rest.
  3. Click the arrow beside the row to expand the full error and model usage details.
OutcomeWhat was saved
SucceededThe check completed and its readings were saved. A workflow containing only Open page can succeed with no readings.
FailedAn error was saved, with no reading values.
CancelledThe cancellation was recorded, with no reading values.

Only a fully successful check saves readings. If a later step fails or the check is cancelled, values from earlier steps in that check are not stored.

History does not save screenshots. To inspect the current page, return to Steps and test Open page again.

Understand model usage

Expanded details show each executed Read step’s model and provider, request count, loading and inference time, and input/output tokens when available. The Total row sums recorded usage. Hover over a model for further details, including its server address when applicable.

A dash means the statistic is unavailable. Partial means some usage was not reported. Failed or cancelled checks can still show usage for model requests that ran.

Explore readings in Charts

Charts has a panel for each field. Use the range buttons—6H, 1D, 1W, 1M, 3M, 6M, 1Y, or ALL—to choose how much history to show. Ranges are rolling periods; for example, 1W is seven days and 1M is 30 days. ALL shows all stored history.

Type a field name in Filter fields… to narrow the view. If a field has no readings in the selected range, choose a wider range. If no fields match, clear the filter.

  • Number fields show a line with markers for readings. Hover over the chart to see the nearest saved value and timestamp. Each field has its own vertical scale.
  • Text fields show blocks of observed text, such as “In stock.” Consecutive identical values merge into one block. Hover to see the full text and displayed interval. The final block fades at the right edge to indicate the last observed state continues beyond its reading.

Chart timestamps use the check’s start time, matching History, and display in your Mac’s time zone. Lines connect observations; text blocks show the last observed state between checks. They do not identify the exact moment the website changed.

Understand missing readings

Dashed numeric lines span checks that failed, were cancelled, or did not contain that field. Expand N missing readings below a chart to see orange timestamp markers. Hover over a marker for its time, then find that check in History for details.

A failed or missing check does not end a text block. A long gap with no checks also does not create a failure marker. Use Schedule checks to understand delays and missed checks.

If you expected a result but see Retry saving results, use it to save the completed result without repeating the browser or model work. An empty History after Test step is expected; use Save, then Check now, to store a check.

Review results after editing fields

History keeps field names and values as they were collected. Renaming a field preserves its chart history. Removing a field from Steps leaves its past readings available in Charts, marked No longer tracked. Changing a field between Number and Text displays its numeric and text history separately.

Delete a saved check

  1. Open History and expand the check.
  2. Choose Delete at the bottom of its details.
  3. Confirm the deletion.

This permanently removes that check and its readings. Charts update to reflect the deletion. The monitor’s Steps and schedule remain in place.
