UptimeRobot
UptimeRobot Importer
UptimeRobot is a SaaS-based service for monitoring uptime of internet services. It can be used to monitor the availability of system components (web applications, services, hosts), the validity of SSL certificates, the status of ports and the presence of keywords in HTTP response from the Internet.
Versio.io can import the data from UptimeRobot, historize it and integrate it into topologies. This creates an overall picture of the IT landscape including the external monitoring status of UptimeRobot.
This enables a root cause analysis of UptimeRobot data on the internal infrastructure and application components of companies in the context of an IT incident. Another benefit scenario would be the calculation of penalty payments on the basis of UptimeRobot data in the context of service level aggregations.
Configuration
You can find the configuration option in Versio.io at Environment settings -> One Importer -> Configuration -> UptimeRobot.
Here you can edit all existing configurations, create new configurations or delete existing configurations.
To add a new configuration enter a Name for your importer and an Entity suffix (default: -uptime-robot) to clearly identify your UptimeRobot entities.
Note that the Entity suffix is fixed and cannot be changed afterwards.
