Monitoring Profile
A Monitoring Profile is setup for one or more Google Search Console Property to be used.
A Monitoring Profile defines how you want to get data reported.
Here are some examples for you.
Simple case - max. 2000 URLs per day
Typically this would be setup for the whole RootDomain - shown as *.yourdomain.com in URLinspector.
You have one Property in Google Search Console and we can do up to 2,000 URLs in monitoring.
The URLinspector case - a lot more URLs per day
You would still setup for the whole RootDomain - shown as *.yourdomain.com in URLinspector.
But if you have ten different Properties in Google Search Console ("GSC Properties") for different folders or sub domains, we can use up to 2,000 URLs per GSC Property. Those ten GSC Properties would therefore all you to inspect up to 10,000 URLs in one Monitoring Profile, per day.
Different subdomains
If you manage multiple sub domains you may want to analyze them separately.
Then each sub domain can be setup separately as a Monitoring Profile for example
blog.yourdomain.comwww.yourdomain.comshop.yourdomain.com
The major benefit of this setup over the simple case with 1 Monitoring Profile is that you can get up to 2,000 URLs checked each. So in this case each has a maximum of 2,000 URLs checked per day = 6,000
Larger websites with many folders
If you manage a websites with a lot of pages, i.e. 100.000s of URLs, you can separate them in independant Monitoring Profiles, for example
https://www.yourdomain.com/en/https://www.yourdomain.com/de/https://www.yourdomain.com/nl/https://www.yourdomain.com/fr/
To name a typcial pattern where each folder hosts a different language.
Again each of the Monitoring Profiles can get up to 2,000 URLs checked each. So in this case each has a maximum of 2,000 URLs checked per day = 8,000
