In our latest Community Spotlight, he shares what building with real UptimeRobot alerts taught him.

Google Cloud London, today (UTC):
06:08 Outage starts
07:54 Revolut posts on X

Revolut's app and cards were down across Europe for hours. Full timeline: uptimerobot.com/knowledge-hu…
#GoogleCloud #Revolut #Outage
Your monitors are green and the app is still broken. Usually the problem sits in something you do not run.
UptimeRobot watches your systems. IsDown watches the 6,000+ vendor status pages your systems depend on. 👉 youtu.be/S0m3qtJvUZU

IsDown itself: isdown.app
2-hour outage, 5-minute repeat, 3 people on SMS = 72 credits for one incident.
Put SMS on the person who has to act and turn off recovery texts. Slack can tell you it's back up.

Can you use UptimeRobot for client work? Yes, Free plan included.
Monitoring as part of your service is fine. Reselling UptimeRobot as your own monitoring product needs our OK first.

A client's server was down for 17 hours and took the AI support bot with it.
Dmitry Prozorovsky's fix: an n8n workflow that reads the server's history in UptimeRobot, waits until it's properly back, answers the missed messages, then turns itself off.

A status page is quick to publish and easy to leave half-configured.
Two things to fix on a quiet day: put it on your own domain, and decide whether search engines should index it.

Your API returned 42 yesterday and "42" today. Still a 200, so the monitor stays green.
UptimeRobot API monitors now assert on value types and headers, check whole arrays and objects, and find list items with JSONPath.

Status badges are live in UptimeRobot.
Any published status page can generate an SVG badge for your GitHub README or docs, in light or dark. Each one has its own token, so you can regenerate it and kill old embeds.

When payments start failing, the first question is "is it us or is it Stripe?" 🤔
Third-party monitoring in UptimeRobot puts the providers you depend on next to your own monitors. Pick the Stripe or AWS components you actually use, and you get an alert through your existing alert contacts when their status changes.
The video shows how to add a service and what its incident history looks like.

New in UptimeRobot: SLA badges 🟢
Set an uptime target, pick your monitors, and embed a badge with the uptime you actually delivered. It changes color if you slip below target.
Free plan included.

AWS was having problems. Our alert went out 10 minutes before AWS could acknowledge the incident.
New Third party monitoring in UptimeRobot tracks user reports alongside official status updates, so you don’t have to wait for the status page to catch up.

Before you monitor a QUERY endpoint, check that everything in front of it lets QUERY through.
curl -X OPTIONS -i $ENDPOINT
If QUERY is missing from the allowed methods, the 405 is waiting for you in production. 👉 youtu.be/je6VJjsDAAE

Some ports should stay closed. SSH on 22 is the usual one.
UptimeRobot port monitors can now alert you when a port is open. Existing monitors stay on Closed.
