I've set up everything and it's working. However my urls for heartbeat are pretty long (under ID drop down)

ex:  
[http://myservertocheck.uat.net:19081/QA/Configuration.Service/Status.Api/api/application/status/QA.Configuration](http://myservertocheck.uat.net:19081/QA/Configuration.Service/Status.Api/api/application/status/QA.Configuration)

-Is there any way to have ID field show up on the main screen as one of the columns?  
-Better yet, since ID in my case is long can it only display the last string after / ie "QA.Configuration"

Example:

Hi @shanekm, could you please verify which version of the Stack you're running here?

The options available for Uptime in that version of the stack are limited as it was the initial release.

I recommend you upgrade to 7.3.0; you'll be able to specify custom names for your monitors and make it easier to visualize your environment.
