Updown.io Integration

Updown.io is an online service that checks your website's status by periodically sending an HTTP HEAD request to the URL of your choice. It then notifies you by email or sms when your website is not responding correctly.

What does Opsgenie offer Updown.io users?

Use Opsgenie’s Updown.io Integration to forward website's status notifications to Opsgenie. Opsgenie determines the right people to notify based on on-call schedules– notifies via email, text messages (SMS), phone calls, iOS and Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until the alert is acknowledged or closed.

Functionality of the integration

Updown.io sends JSON notifications when a website is down, which creates an alert in Opsgenie. As soon as the website gets up back, the alert created is closed automatically.

📘

Alias should be set while adding a new website to monitor in Updown.io. Otherwise, alert will be created in the case of website is down but will not be closed.
