Monitoring lets you track a target over time without repeating manual checks.
You create a monitor, choose a schedule, and Osintly records runs and alerts in the Monitoring dashboard.
Monitoring is available on Pro and Advanced plans.

​
How monitoring works

Each monitor stores:
  • a monitor type (Email Registration, Global Search, or Module Query)
  • a target/query
  • a run frequency (hourly, 6hours, daily, weekly)
  • an active/paused state
When runs execute, monitor metadata is updated (including last run) and alerts can be created when conditions are met.

​
Monitor types

Track a single email-style target for registration/exposure-style changes.
Track a target using a selected search input type (for example Pseudonym, Email Address, IP Address, Domain Name, etc.). Input validation is enforced against the selected search type.
Track a query against selected module(s).
Selected modules must be valid and share the same input type.

​
Creating a monitor

1

Open Monitoring

Go to osint.ly/monitoring.
2

Click Create Monitor

Use Create Monitor from the Monitoring dashboard.
3

Configure monitor settings

Set:
  • Name
  • Frequency
  • Monitor type
  • Query/target + type-specific fields
4

Save

The monitor is created as active (unless you later pause it).
In the current interface, monitor creation is managed from the Monitoring dashboard (not from a dedicated “Monitor” button in result header actions).

​
Frequency and expected run volume

Use this table to estimate operational load and expected alert cadence.

​
Plan limits

If you hit your limit, monitor creation is blocked until you delete monitors or upgrade. See osint.ly/pricing for full plan details.

​
Alerts and status workflow

The Alerts tab provides:
  • severity
  • type
  • target

You can update status directly from the alerts table and remove alerts when needed.
