Uptime Robot provider

About Uptime Robot providers

An Uptime Robot provider allows you to connect to your Uptime Robot environment. You can then use the Web API tile to monitor the availability and performance of your services from your UptimeRobot environment.

Adding an Uptime Robot provider is a one-time configuration task, and once you have an Uptime Robot provider configured you can use it with multiple tiles. You may like to refer to the Uptime Robot API documentation or speak to your Uptime Robot expert.

This article describes how to use the Web API Integration to create an Uptime Robot provider.

What are Integrations and Providers

Adding an Uptime Robot provider

For Uptime Robot the provider must be created as a simple provider:

1. In SquaredUp browse to System > Administration > Integrations.

2. Under Integrations click Web API.
3. Click the authentication type Simple
4. In the service name box type in a suitable name, e.g. UptimeRobot
5. The base URL should be the current Uptime Robot API URL, for example:
   https://api.uptimerobot.com/v2/
   We recommend you include the API version here in the base URL, so if the API version changes you only need to update it here, rather than in every tile.
6. Under url parameters click add
7. Add the following:
   name: api-key
   value: <API token from Uptime Robot>
   See Uptime Robot: Authentication - Which api-key type to use
8. Click Save.
