Task Group
A task group helps keep checks from the same service together in one place.
When to use
- When one project has several checks and you want them in one section.
- When you want to split monitoring by projects, environments, or teams.
- When a single flat task list is hard to scan.
When not to use
- If you need a direct site or server check, use a concrete task type instead.
- If you have only one or two checks, grouping may be unnecessary.
How grouping works
- A group does not run checks itself. It only contains other tasks.
- Disabling a group does not disable tasks inside it automatically.
