Tags Management is a centralized way to organize your resources throughout the ControlUp platform.

Currently for Synthetic Monitoring only

For the current version of this feature Synthetic Monitoring is the only product utilizing the centralized tags. We intend to build upon this feature and expand it throughout the platform.

Permissions

How tags works

Tags are "Key-Value" pairs. After you define a tag key and it's possible values, you can apply the tags to resources within ControlUp.

Tags can be used for organizing and filtering resources.

To create tags:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Tags Management.

  3. Enter the tag key and description (optional)

  4. Add Values to that key. Optionally, you can customize the color for each key to help visually distinguish them in the UI.

  5. Click Create Tag

You can create up to 1000 tag keys. Each tag key can contain up to 500 values. The names for keys and values can be up to 1024 charachters long.
