Uptime Robot Integration Guide

Uptime Robot is a website monitoring service that provides up to 50 monitors for free.

Integrate AlertOps’ alert management platform with Uptime Robot to receive and respond to critical alerts through email, SMS, push notification, and phone alerts. AlertOps ensures that alerts received from Uptime Robot always reach the correct, available team member by utilizing escalation policies and on-call schedules.

Alert Triggering Information

AlertOps will automatically create an incident when a new alert is received from Uptime Robot with an IncidentStatus status of “1.”

If an alert with status “1” matches an existing Open Alert, AlertOps will recognize the new alert as a duplicate and ignore the alert. The alert will be recorded in the Inbound Messages table as “Mapped Appended.”

AlertOps will automatically close the same incident when an alert with an IncidentStatus status “2” is received.
