Quorum (Location Confirmation)

In monitoring, a quorum is the number of check locations that must agree a service is failing before an incident is opened.

Requiring a quorum, say, 2 of 3 regions confirming the failure, filters out local network glitches and bot challenges that hit a single probe. It trades a few seconds of delay for far fewer false positives.

At Uptimeify the quorum is a configurable ceiling, not a fixed rule. You set the confirmation threshold per monitor, up to a maximum of 9, and the platform clamps it twice: to the number of locations actually serving that monitor, and to the number of consecutive checks that confirm a failure, since those are what reach additional locations in the first place. Setting 9 on a monitor that only four locations check therefore means four at most, and less if fewer consecutive checks confirm. What you never get is a threshold that no outage can reach.
