5 Must Haves for IT Teams - OnPage + UpTimeRobot Integration

 Perfect for teams responsible for monitoring the performance of a website.

Uptime Robot is all about helping you to keep your websites up. It monitors your websites every 5 minutes and alerts you if your sites are down.

Get alerted via OnPage for faster resolution!

Here are the types of monitoring available:

• ­http(s): that’s perfect for website monitoring. The service regularly sends requests (which are the same as if a visitor is browsing your website) to the URL and decides if it is up or down depending on the HTTP statuses returned from the website (200-success, 404-not found, etc.)
• ­ping: this is good for monitoring a server. Ping (ICMP) requests are sent and up/down status is decided according to the “if responses are received or not”. Ping is not a good fit for monitoring websites as a website (its IP) can respond to ping requests while it is down (which means that the site is down but the server hosting the site is up)
• ­keyword: checks if a keyword exists or not exists in a web page
• ­port: good for monitoring services like smtp, dns, pop as all these services run from a specific port and Uptime Robot decides their statuses if they respond to the requests or not.

5 Must Haves for IT Teams - Views into Team Availability

 Perfect for teams that are diverse and spread across different geographical locations.

The new release of OnPage provides users of the app with the ability to see who is online. Known as Team Availability; this feature is also a part of the web console.

This lack of ability to see presence information on the app hindered users in the field from having access to this information.

Now, users do not need to waste time in knowing their colleagues’ status as they can immediately see if the colleague is logged in.
