Local monitors run in your browser, while cloud monitors run on Distill servers. Local monitors require your browser to be open. Multiple monitors at small check interval may not check at the scheduled time in the browser. Cloud monitors run 24*7 in the cloud and checks are distributed between multiple servers.

To add local monitor, Step 1: Login to the password protected webpage Step 2: Use Distill's browser extension to monitor the section you want and save. If you want to monitor authenticated webpages in cloud, please email us at support@distill.io and we will help you.

You can update "delay" parameter's value in config to the desired seconds. By default, it is set to 0. For example, to add a delay of 5 seconds, you can update the config to "delay": 5. This way Distill will wait for 5 seconds to let webpage load and then check for changes. To know how to view config, check: https://distill.io/kb/help/config-and-advanced-monitor-options/.
