# Checkly Groups Update

Published Jun 11, 2025

## Organize checks your way

Group-level overrides for scheduling strategy, locations, retries, and alert settings are now optional. Existing groups keep their current configuration, but you can opt out of specific overrides; new groups start with overrides disabled and behave like simple folders unless you explicitly define configuration. In the UI you get toggle switches under Scheduling & Locations and Retries & Alerting.

## CheckGroupV2 for Monitoring as Code

CLI v6.0.0 introduces the `CheckGroupV2` construct, deprecating `CheckGroup`. In `CheckGroupV2`, no value means no override: if `runParallel`, `locations`, `privateLocations`, `alertEscalationPolicy`, or `retryStrategy` are left undefined, each check uses its own settings instead of group defaults. Double-check your group definitions when migrating; Terraform and Pulumi support is in development.
