SiteUptime Integration Guide

SiteUptime monitors websites and servers at regular intervals, sending out notifications through email or SMS whenever issues are detected. For paying customers, a PagerDuty integration that sends out notifications is also available.

FAQ

I’m trying out SiteUptime on a trial basis but don’t see any PagerDuty configuration option.

The PagerDuty integration is only available for paid plans. Please contact SiteUptime for more information.

I tested my integration through a manual test but PagerDuty was not alerted.

In our tests, triggering a manual test did not alert PagerDuty, but creating an issue and then waiting for it to be noticed normally did. While waiting for the alert to go out may take several minutes, this will confirm that your integration is working.
