Before creating a check for the new entity, choose which monitoring zones to run the check from. Cloud Monitoring is divided into different monitoring zones. You may want to have a single server monitored from several monitoring zones to reduce the risk of false alarms and check the response time from different locations around the world.
Examine the response and choose the monitoring zone(s) you want to launch your first check from.
Example 3.7. List Monitoring Zones Request: cURL
curl -i -X GET \ -H 'X-Auth-Token: auth_token' \ -H 'Accept: application/json' \ 'https://monitoring.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0/010101/monitoring_zones'
