Rotating content noise (visual + text diff)

Lemwatch scrubs rotating banners, timestamps, and random ads so they do not fire visual alerts.

Quick answer

Enable Scrub rotating noise on any visual monitor. Lemwatch samples the page 3 times back-to-back, treats anything that changed between samples as noise, and diffs only what stayed stable.

What it does

Where to find it in Lemwatch

Visual Monitoring → [page] → Advanced → Scrub rotating noise.

How to enable it

  1. Open the page in Visual Monitoring.
  2. Click Advanced → toggle Scrub rotating noise.
  3. Save.
  4. Next run captures 3 samples and auto-scrubs volatile regions.
  5. Review the first alert after enabling to confirm noise is gone.

FAQ

Does this slow down checks?

Yes, ~2–3× longer per run. Only enable on pages with rotating content.

Does it replace ignore zones?

Complement, not replacement. Use ignore zones for known-noisy regions; scrubbing catches new noise.
