# Create an uptime global configuration

POST https://api.modulards.com/api/public/v1/preset-uptimes
Content-Type: application/json

Creates an Uptime Monitor global configuration: the check settings a group of websites shares. Creating it monitors nothing yet: assign websites with "Assign websites to an uptime global configuration".

**Body**
- `name` (string, required): the configuration's name, at most 255 characters.
- `region` (string, required): where the checks run from: `eu-west-1`, `us-east-1` or `ap-southeast-1`.
- `interval` (integer, optional): seconds between checks: 120, 300, 900 or 1800. Default 300. The values 120 and 300 depend on your plan and are refused without it.
- `timeout` (integer, optional): milliseconds a check waits for the answer: 1000, 2000, 5000, 10000, 20000, 30000 or 45000. Default 30000.
- `method` (`GET` or `HEAD`, optional): HTTP method of the check. Default `HEAD`.
- `status_codes` (array of strings, optional): HTTP status codes that count as working, either a range such as `2xx` or an exact code such as `503`. Default `["2xx"]`.
- `default` (boolean, optional): `true` makes it the configuration new websites receive.
