Uptime Robot Integration
Uptime Robot + OnPage
The Uptime Robot integration helps keep websites up. It monitors websites every 5 minutes and alerts the right person if the sites are down. Alerts are sent via OnPage through WebHooks, and, if redundancy is desired, via e-mail, SMS, Twitter, Slack and HipChat.
How It Works
The step-by-step actions of Uptime Robot are:
- Requests websites headers and gets status codes like “200-ok”, “404-not found”, etc. every 5 minutes (or more depending on the monitor’s settings)
- If the status code returned doesn’t indicate a problem, no action is taken
- If the status code is~400+ and 500+, the site is not loading
- To make sure the site is down, Uptime Robot makes several more checks in the next 30 seconds
- If the site is still down, it sends an alert
