+### Monitoring an endpoint using SSH
+You can monitor endpoints using SSH by prefixing `endpoints[].url` with `ssh:\\`:
+```yaml
+endpoints:
+  - name: ssh-example
+    url: "ssh://example.com:22" # port is optional. Default is 22.
+    ssh:
+      username: "username"
+      password: "password"
+    body: |

+      }
+    interval: 1m
+    conditions:
+      - "[CONNECTED] == true"
+      - "[STATUS] == 0"
+```
+
+The following placeholders are supported for endpoints of type SSH:
+- `[CONNECTED]` resolves to `true` if the SSH connection was successful, `false` otherwise
+- `[STATUS]` resolves the exit code of the command executed on the remote server (e.g. `0` for success)
