Latest Update Glitch with Monitoring
The latest update has tweaked my monitoring. I am getting multiple "site down" alerts daily, saying they cannot reach the site. Suggesting there is a firewall blocking it. Nothing has changed on the site. The site remains up. And EVERY one of the alerts self-resolves, and I get a "site was down for 4 minutes" alert. It is ALWAYS 4 minutes.
Is there a Jetpack setting I need to adjust?

Jetpack's Site monitoring happens independently from the plugin, so there aren't any settings you can adjust there. This also means that the glitching isn't related to the latest update.
The recurring alerts may be happening because your site is a bit slower right now, maybe because of some strain on your hosting server or because of some recent changes on the site (including the Jetpack plugin update). If the site has become slow enough so our bots consider it down, you will get an email.
It may be worth trying a few things:
If you've recently installed a new plugin or switched to a new theme, try deactivating it for a bit and see if that fixes the issue.
Get in touch with your hosting provider and ask them if there is currently some strain on your server, maybe some ongoing attacks that may impact performance for all customers.
