Hostinger Agent<\/a> can run a recurring check for you, such as confirming your website is online, at intervals of 5 minutes or longer. Agent repeats the check and reports each result until you ask it to stop.<\/p>

Set up a recurring check<\/h2>

A recurring check is one of several tasks Hostinger Agent<\/a> can perform for you. For a full list of what Agent can do, see Hostinger Agent: Features and overview<\/a> and How to use Hostinger Agent skills<\/a>.<\/p>

    \n
  1. Tell Hostinger Agent what to check and how often. For example: “Check if domain.tld is online every 5 minutes and let me know until I tell you to stop.”<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. Review the confirmation card. It states the frequency, the first run time, and what the job will do. Nothing runs until you confirm it.<\/li>\n
  3. Select Confirm<\/strong> to schedule the job, or Deny<\/strong> to cancel it.
    \n\"\"<\/li>\n<\/ol>

    Agent runs the job once immediately to confirm it works. It does not save the job if that first run fails, and explains why in the chat.<\/p>

    The minimum interval is 5 minutes<\/h2>

    Recurring checks cannot run more often than every 5 minutes. Agent explains the 5-minute minimum and offers to schedule the check at 5 minutes instead if you ask for a shorter interval.<\/p>

    This minimum applies to recurring checks only. A one-time check can sometimes run sooner, such as within 2 minutes.<\/p>

    Recurring vs. one-time checks<\/h2>

    Not every request that mentions “every X minutes” creates a recurring job. Agent may schedule a single one-time check instead of a recurring one if your request combines a frequency and a stop condition in the same sentence. For example, “check it every 3 minutes and stop after the first check”<\/em> can be read as a one-time request.<\/p>

    Always check the confirmation card before you confirm it.<\/p>

    NOTES<\/strong><\/p>

      \n
    • A card showing Once<\/strong> and a single date and time schedules one check only. It does not repeat.
      \n\"\"<\/li>\n
    • A card showing a repeating frequency, such as Every 5 min<\/strong>, schedules a recurring job that continues until you ask Agent to stop it.
      \n\"\"<\/li>\n<\/ul>

      Ask for the frequency without a stop condition if you want ongoing monitoring. For example: “Monitor domain.tld every 5 minutes until I tell you to stop.<\/em>”<\/p>

      Where you’ll see the results<\/h2>

      A one-time check posts its result back into the same chat where you set it up. A recurring check does not post its results into the chat, even if that chat is still open. Instead, each completed run of a recurring check appears in the Inbox<\/strong> on the Jobs<\/strong> page.<\/p>

      Open the Jobs<\/strong> page from the sidebar to see the result of each run, including the exact check performed and its outcome.<\/p>

      NOTE<\/strong><\/p>

        \n
      • Each run uses Hostinger Agent credits, whether the check succeeds or not.<\/li>\n<\/ul>

        Manage jobs from the Jobs page<\/h2>

        Select Agent<\/strong> in the sidebar, then select Jobs<\/strong> to open the Jobs<\/strong> page. The Jobs<\/strong> page lists every check you have set up, split into two sections: Inbox<\/strong>, which shows completed run results, and Scheduled<\/strong>, which shows jobs that are active, completed, or inactive.<\/p>

        \"\"<\/p>

        From the Jobs<\/strong> page, you can:<\/p>

          \n
        • Select + Create new<\/strong> to set up a job directly, without going through the chat.<\/li>\n
        • Select Run now<\/strong> next to a scheduled job to trigger it immediately, outside its regular schedule.<\/li>\n
        • Select Edit<\/strong> next to a job to change its details, such as its frequency or instructions.<\/li>\n
        • Select Delete<\/strong> next to a job to remove it permanently.<\/li>\n
        • Use the toggle next to a job to turn it on or off without deleting it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>

          \"\"<\/p>

          You can also manage a job from the chat. For example, tell Agent “Stop the website availability monitor job”<\/em>, and Agent asks you to confirm before it stops the job.<\/p>

          Turning off or deleting a job does not delete its past results. Completed run results remain available in the Inbox<\/strong>.<\/p>

          Your recurring check is set up, and you can adjust or stop it at any time from the Jobs page or by asking Agent directly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
