Why are free uptime monitors not created for recently added domains?

GlockApps creates free uptime monitors for SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records based on DMARC reports received from reporting organizations. 

An SPF monitor is created when a domain specified as the main domain in the <policy published> tags matches the domain specified as an SPF domain (or the SPF domain is a sub-domain set up on the main domain) and the sending IP is included in the SPF record for the SPF domain. In this case, we consider the main domain as your domain and create an SPF monitor for it.

DKIM monitor is created when the domain in the “Header From” field matches the domain used in the d= tag in the DKIM signature. GlockApps creates a free DKIM monitor for each of the selectors. The domains and selectors are extracted from the DMARC reports that we received from reporters.

A DMARC monitor is created for each domain specified as the main domain in the <policy published> tags.  

If you don’t have free uptime monitors for a domain that complies with mentioned above, it must be because:

1) we have not received DMARC reports for the domain yet. The free uptime monitors are created only after we receive DMARC reports for the domain;

2) you already have paid uptime monitors for the domain. Free monitors are not created to avoid duplicates. To use free uptime monitors, you have to delete paid monitors. Free uptime monitors will be created automatically when new DMARC reports are received.
