# List monitors that need attention

`GET https://evohub.io/api/v1/monitors/attention`

Part of the [Uptime API](https://docs-dev.evohub.io/uptime.md) reference · operationId `listMonitorsNeedingAttention`.

The caller's active monitors that are down or degraded: down ones
first, then by how long they have been in that state, oldest first.
`since` is when the monitor went down (from its open outage) or when
its slow alert was raised.

`incident_id` and `cause` are filled for a down monitor with an open
outage, and only when the caller also holds `uptime:incident:read`;
otherwise they are `null`.

Requires the `uptime:monitor:read` scope.

## Authorization

Any one of:

- `bearerKey`
- `headerKey`

Where:

- `bearerKey`: HTTP Bearer — An EvoHub API key (`evohub_…`) as a bearer token.
- `headerKey`: API key in the header `X-API-Key` — An EvoHub API key (`evohub_…`).

## Query parameters

- `team_id` (string, example `none`): Narrow to one team's monitors, or `none` for only the organization-wide ones. It never widens what the caller can see.
- `limit` (integer, default `20`, min 1, max 100): How many monitors to return. Values above 100 are read as 100.
