Chat rooms were widely used in the early days of the internet, instant messengers replaced them afterwards and they are getting popular again with a much focused use: team communication. It is really handy to have all the members of a team talk to each other at the same place and have all that info saved (for searching later on). […]

Many Uptime Robot users were asking for an integration with the “push notifications service” Pushover and here it is. Pushover is a paid app which has support for notifications through Android, iOS, Chrome, Firefox, Safari & Mac OS X Desktop. It has very nice features like defining “quiet hours, delivery groups” and more. The addition is very simple just […]

Uptime Robot has been a very stable service for a long time. Yet, for the last few weeks, we know that some users have received false-positives. Why did that happen? In short, the servers we used couldn’t handle the load :). In detail, we always look for ways to heavily optimize the system and the engine […]

Customizing monitors one-by-one is not a problem when there are few of them but things get complicated when there are many. The older Uptime Robot interface had the ability to start/pause/delete monitors in bulk and the new look was missing this feature. We have just added this feature with more options.

Uptime Robot is already integrated with the free and easy-to-use Boxcar app for sending iOS push messages. Lately, the app has a new version, Boxcar 2, and the old version will be inactive in the next weeks. Uptime Robot now supports Boxcar 2 and “any alert contacts for the older version will be deactivated on […]

For the last month, we were working hard to improve the monitoring engine and pretty excited with how stable it became. Also, few visible updates exist and here they are: SSL-Login Many users were asking for a specific login page so that their “password managers” would automate the login process. Right now, the login has its […]

There is a new “alert contact type” in town: “Web Hooks“. In its simplest form, “Uptime Robot sends a request to a URL that you mention” with all parameters of the monitor. After that, you can handle this request and use the information in it for many possible things like sending custom notifications to your […]
