ws.prometheus_uptimerobot 1.0.1

Configure API key

You’ll need to provide the API key of your uptimerobot.com account using a configuration file:

[default]
api_key = 123456789

See the Uptime Robot API documentation for details.

Set up HTTP service

Then you need to set up an HTTP server, either with a dedicated process:

$ uptimerobot_exporter --host localhost --port 9429 --config /path/to/config

or as a CGI script, if you have infrastructure for that set up anyway. Here’s an example apache configuration snippet to do this:

ScriptAlias /metrics/uptimerobot /path/to/uptimerobot_exporter_cgi
<Location /metrics/uptimerobot>
  SetEnv PROMETHEUS_UPTIMEROBOT_CONFIG /path/to/config
  # SetEnv PROMETHEUS_UPTIMEROBOT_LOGFILE /path/to/log  # optional, for debugging
</Location>

Configure Prometheus

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'uptimerobot'
    scrape_interval: 300s
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['localhost:9429']

The following metrics are exported, each with labels {monitor_name="example.com",monitor_type="http",monitor_url="https://example.com"}:

• uptimerobot_up gauge (1=up, 0=down)

• uptimerobot_status gauge

• uptimerobot_responsetime gauge

See the Uptime Robot API documentation section “Parameters” for details on the possible status values. The monitor_type is translated from its numeric code to one of http, http keyword, ping, or port.

Additionally, a uptimerobot_scrape_duration_seconds gauge is exported.
