Once competitors are under monitoring, Vector builds up a history of checks and what they found. You read it in Monitoring, in the Track group of the left menu.

Catch up on what changed

The Summary tab opens first. Across the top:
  • On monitoring and Watched sources — how many competitors and sources are watched right now.
  • Checks · 30d and Changes · 30d — how many checks ran and how many changes they found in the last 30 days.
Below, Latest changes lists the most recent findings. Click See all → for the Recent changes tab: everything found in the last 30 days, newest first, one row per change naming the competitor and source, with a link to the proof. last swept shows when the last round of checks ran. If nothing has been found yet, the tab says so: All quiet — no changes in the last 30 days.

See what monitoring costs

The Automatic cost · 30d tile on Summary shows what the schedule itself cost in the last 30 days: the AI calls and page fetches of checks nobody started by hand. Under it, a line names where most of that went. See the full breakdown opens AI usage. If the figure is higher than you’d like, check the competitors you watch least closely less often.

Look into a check

The Check log tab is the full history of monitoring, newest first. Each row is a run: one round of checks of one competitor’s sources, with how many changed. Click details on a run to see it source by source: what was checked, whether it came back changed, no change, skipped or could not read, and a short summary of what Vector saw. A change also shows how confident Vector is in it. A change held for your review has Confirm and Dismiss buttons right there. See Finding confidence and feedback.

Spot checks that failed

A source that couldn’t be read is marked could not read. When the runs you’re looking at include any, a warning above the log says how many source checks couldn’t be read, so a problem is visible without opening every row. A run is marked by its overall result:
  • changed — at least one source changed, even if others failed
  • partial error — some sources couldn’t be read, and none of the rest changed
  • could not read — every source failed, so a broken check never reads as a quiet day
  • no change — everything was read, and nothing changed

Narrow down the log

The filters above the log narrow it by competitor, by outcome — Changed, No change or Error — and by kind of source. Set the period with the 7d, 30d and 90d presets or pick dates. Once you’ve changed a filter, Reset goes back to the default: everything from the last 90 days. The calendar above the table has one cell per day, shaded from less to more by how many checks ran, with days that found a change marked. Click a day to see only its checks; click it again, or clear day, to go back. The calendar follows the filters you’ve set. The log loads the most recent runs first. Load more at the bottom brings in older ones.
