Pingdom

This guide outlines the steps to integrate StatusPal's monitoring service with Pingdom's synthetic uptime checks. This integration allows you to receive alerts in StatusPal via webhook

To automate the reporting and closing of incidents on your status page based on the status reported by Pingdom synthetic checks, follow these steps.

Create your Webhook Integration in StatusPal

First, you need to create an endpoint URL within StatusPal. This URL will act as the bridge between Pingdom and StatusPal, receiving notifications from Pingdom about uptime check results via webhook.

• Navigate to Services: On your Status Page, create a new service or edit an existing service.

• Add Webhook: On Monitoring and incident automation section, check on Webhook and select Pingdom.

• Finish and Save: Create or update the service, then copy the endpoint URL that will be created for you.

Create your Webhook Integration in Pingdom

Next, you need to create a webhook integration within Pingdom.

• Navigate to Settings: On the Pingdom navigation bar, click on Settings.

• Access Integrations: Go to the Integrations section and click on Add integration.

• Add Webhook: In the new integration configuration, you'll need to add the endpoint URL provided by StatusPal. This URL is specific to your StatusPal service configuration and is essential for the integration to work correctly. Paste this URL into the appropriate field.

Create your Synthetic Monitoring Service in Pingdom

Next, you need to configure your uptime check in Pingdom and link it to the webhook you just created.

• Navigate to Synthetics: On the Pingdom navigation bar, click on Synthetics.

• Create Uptime Monitor: Choose Uptime and create a new monitor for the synthetic you want to track. Configure the monitor according to your needs (e.g., check frequency, target URL).

• Configure Webhook: Within the monitor's configuration settings, locate the Webhook section. Check the box corresponding to the webhook you created in the previous step. This will enable Pingdom to send notifications to StatusPal whenever the uptime check status changes from Up or Down.

That's it! Once you have completed these steps, Pingdom will send notifications about your uptime checks to StatusPal, allowing you to monitor and manage your service availability from a centralized platform.
