Public status page with several checks
A status page with several checks, showing daily/weekly/monthly stats for all of them.
294 votesFeb 2021 update: A first version of the group status page feature (only the basics for now) has been released so you can give it a try!
The link is hidden for the moment, please go to https://updown.io/status_pages to create your first status page.
And here is a demo status page that we just created: https://updown.io/p/3ji4k
Please give it a go and let us know what you think!
For the record it is still possible to use our read-only API key to build truly custom status page or dashboard in javascript.
Here are some example custom status page made by our users that you could start from:

Log of uptime/downtime
Maybe I overlooked it, but is there a log of the incidents available? Simply a text list of the times when a website went down, and when it was up again.
135 votesHello everyone, I’ve just added a way to get the detailed results from the last 5 checks before downtime and recovery to the downtime API, all you have to do is add the “results=true” parameter, like this:
https://updown.io/api/checks/yyyy/downtimes?api-key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx&results=true
Warnings:
- This API is alpha version, it can still change.
- The response can be huge, I recommend using this only when needed and with http gzip compression if you can.
- The dual stack results (IPv4 and IPv6) will NOT repeat “body” and “received_headers” if they are the same as in the parent result record, to save space.Let me know what you think!

Longer history than 30 days would be excellent for troubleshooting performance issues.

Allow maintance window for planned IT jobs
Allow maintenance window for planned IT job (server down)
72 votesOk I’m moving this back to “under review” as it’s gathering a lot of interest, but this would require first https://updown.uservoice.com/forums/177972/suggestions/16982392 and https://updown.uservoice.com/forums/177972/suggestions/15589635 to be implemented to provide a decent UI for this.

Microsoft Teams integration (not via 3rd party)
Sending messages through a third party is not that great and imho should not be necessary for a large service like MS Teams.

Warn about expiring domain names
Domain name registration expiry notice
47 votesFirst part of this feature has been deployed (the one fetching expiration dates from whois database) but the problem is there’s a lot of mistakes in this process because it requires parsing free-text from all different TLD whois format (which is not standard). So we’re currently making sure the data is correct (at least when we have it) and improving the parser with the values we see in the wild, to ensure we don’t send any false alarms about this when we enable the alerts (also implemented but disabled for now). Knowing this, if you want to try anyway we could enable the alerts for some beta testers, let me know.

Widget and badge status
Status pages are really good, but it's sometimes simpler to have a widget to integrate into another site.
(badges are also very cool ;))41 votesYes actually there is an integration with http://shields.io/ planned to provide standard badges to everyone. We probably won’t do any widget though, it’s hard to do one that will look good on most websites. We’ll release read-only API keys in January though, that will allow building highly customizable status page / widget directly in javascript.

South America checkpoint
Hello, I suggest that a South American checkpoint is a priority. I have (among others) websites in Spanish and Portuguese, and although Spain and Portugal are in Europe, the majority of users in these languages turn out to be from South America. If you need a VPS in Brazil, I can recommend Virtuaserver (I had a good experience with them), or there are many others. Best wishes and keep going.

Add support for Google Chat incoming webhooks
We would love to be able to post alerts to Google Chat using the incoming webhooks (cf. https://developers.google.com/hangouts/chat/how-tos/webhooks). A similar integration to the one already existing for Slack would be wonderful!

Add UK location
The current 8 servers available are reasonably spread out, but it would be really great to include a UK server so I can see the experience of my UK audience.
I would also note that visitors from the middle-East and Africa don't get a look-in: perhaps something in Israel?

Provide pagerduty integration
Provide integration for https://www.pagerduty.com/
18 votesHi all, there’s now an option for that which is through Zapier (we just added native Zapier integration): https://updown.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/1911991
Using this you can connect PagerDuty and receive alerts from updown.io. I’m keeping the suggestion “under review” because we might provide a native integration later.

Add Chinese monitor location
The response time to Chinese server (located on Alibaba or Baidu for example) is very slow for non-Chinese clients.
17 votesWhile I understand the need, being in China is a lot of work (mainly support and maintenance) as the network conditions are erratic and with out current double check policy would not actually notify if your website is unreachable in China (unless we have two servers here and become a regional monitoring service but that’s not the objective and we can’t just do that in every country). I’ll keep the idea open to measure interest. Also if some of you have recommendations for a dependable and affordable hosting provider in China I’m interested.
