UpDown

UpDown is a website monitoring and uptime tracking platform that continuously checks the availability, performance, and health of websites, web services, APIs, and online infrastructure. This integration enables users to query and analyze their configured monitoring checks and retrieve detailed performance metrics to ensure service reliability and identify downtime issues.

Before you start

Huntbase signs in to UpDown with API Key. Create the credential in UpDown first, then keep it to hand for the Connect step.

1. Sign in to updown.io and open your settings at https://updown.io/settings/edit.
2. Copy your read-only API key.

Permissions:

• A read-only API key, which works only with GET endpoints.

Watch out for

• A read-only key hides basic auth credentials in check URLs, so those values won't appear in results.

For the vendor's own instructions, see updown.io API documentation.

tip

Use a dedicated, read-only credential for Huntbase where the product allows it. Huntbase only needs to read.

Connect UpDown

1. Go to Connections and click New connection, or click New connection on the UpDown product page.
2. On Product, pick UpDown and choose the Owner.
3. On Details, give the connection a Name and, optionally, a Description.
4. On Connect, fill in the settings and credentials described below.
5. On Verify, review the summary and click Create & check.

For everything else on the setup page — saving a draft, I'll do this later, and what each check result means — see Connections.

Credentials

The only Method is API Key. Enter a Credential label (for example Production), then fill in:

Once connected, UpDown can serve these languages in a query tab, and Scout can use it when you ask in Auto:

Language	Use it for
SQLite	SQL over the 4 tables listed below, alongside every other connected source.

UpDown ships with 8 query templates. Find them in Library › Queries — see Query templates.

UpDown adds 4 tables. Browse their columns from Schema in the query bar's ⋯ menu.

All 4 tables
