A monitoring zone is a location that Rackspace Cloud Monitoring collects data from. Examples of monitoring zones are "US West", "DFW1" or "ORD1". It is an abstraction for a general location from which data is collected.
An "endpoint," also known as a "collector," collects data from the monitoring zone. The endpoint is mapped directly to an individual machine or a virtual machine. A monitoring zone contains many endpoints, all of which will be within the IP address range listed in the response. The opposite is not true, however, as there may be unallocated IP addresses or unrelated machines within that IP address range.
A check references a list of monitoring zones it should be run from.

This API lets you run a Traceroute from a Monitoring Zone to a Hostname or IP address. Like all Cloud Monitoring features, the Traceroute API is fully dual stack, supporting both IPv4 and IPv6. The Traceroute API can be used to debug networking issues between the Cloud Monitoring collectors and your infrastructure.
| Name | Description | Validation |
| target | Traceroute target IP or hostname. |
|
| target_resolver | Target resolver type. Only applicable if hostname is provided. |
