Javascript browser tests
It would be cool to have more advanced browser tests that could test javascript.
It already happened to me that my javascript file couldn't be loaded (come cache issue) which resulted in an unusable website until we realized the javascript had crashed and all menus were unuseable.
Some services can scripted browser tests so we can verify some javascript interactions actually work. Would love to see that on your app.
3 votesUnfortunately this is much more expensive and super unreliable so we’ll never use it for the main monitoring. Though at some point we may add some side features to try your website in a browser from time to time and let you know if it breaks for some reason but that’ll only be warning notifications (like we do with SSL alerts).
And most importantly it won’t be configurable, as this would require a very complex setup which is not in the updown.io philosophy -
Create WHMCS Module For Selling and Displaying Uptime In WHMCS Client Accounts
I love updown.io, but UptimeRobot has got WHMCS dialed in. You guys should get in that game. Make a module that allows us to display updown uptime monitoring in the WHMCS client area. Not sure where you guys are in the as far as the reseller market goes, but you can also add functionality for reselling your service to our WHMCS clients and make bank. Think of how much more exposure that would be.
3 votesThis integration requires writing some custom PHP code, which means more maintenance, support and crappy UX. It’s just not worth for us. If someone really wants this extension he can write it using our API.

Add ability to shorten check confirmations
It would be great if you could have a check that checks every 10 minutes, but when it starts failing you can have do the confirmation checks every minute.
At the moment (I could be wrong here) if I have it set to check every 10 minutes it would take 30 minutes of downtime for me to get a notification.
3 votesActually the confirmation checks are twice as fast, which means that with a 10 minute period, you’ll be alerted 10 to 20min after the downtime started (and only for downtimes longer than 10 min)
If you check every 10m it means a downtime up to 10m is acceptable. Running confirmation checks faster would mean being sensitive to downtimes smaller than 10min.
If you want faster alerts, you need to select a faster check interval, there’s no point in being notified in 2 min if you check every 10 minutes anyway because If you care about a 2 min downtime at 12:00, you should also care about a 2 min downtime at 12:05 too ;)
In the end, we chose to keep a precise balance between sensitivity and frequency so you can’t be notified for a downtime randomly, this is important because with a 10 minutes interval you can miss a…

Add more time intervals
It would be cool if you also could time intervals like once per day or once per hour since some domains are only important for the SSL monitoring for me.
3 votes10 minutes interval check costs ~0.06€ / month, which is already pretty cheap, even for just the SSL check. It would not be worth it for us to go bellow.

Still down alert /reminder customization
It would be nice to make the number of checks before a Still Down Alert /Reminder is sent out customizable.
Details regarding Still Down Alert :
The still down notifications are sent as reminders, they are exponentially spaced out and dependent on the check frequency. The first reminder is sent after 60 down checks (so if you have 1min interval it's after 1h, if you have 30s interval after 30min, etc..) and after that, the next reminder is always twice as long as the previous one, so for example: 30min, 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, etc...3 votesNot requested enough, the default schedule is good enough for most use-case.

Higher timeout threshold
We have a couple of long running dashboard pages and a higher timeout threshold would be useful
3 votesThe current values are 10s for connection timeout and 30 seconds for response timeout. I do not plan on allowing to increase those as it’s already pretty high.

Open sourced service
When out of beta, you could offer a Unix service client added to the monitoring rack to download and install on the user's server if they want it.
That could result in something like "pay for updown or host a server".3 votes -

Lots of checks, less often
I'm looking for website checks (404 and other error results vs normal) for a lot of uris, like tens of thousands, but then, not that often. Like every uri once a month.
3 votesupdown.io isn’t suited for this kind of monitoring, the pricing wouldn’t justify the storage costs and all charts and numbers would break. Though we can probably build a small custom tool for this and host it for you if you want. Send some details to support@updown.io if you’re interested.

Alert after N periods
In order to avoid false alarms, it would be great to have a per-check variable to define how many failed pings to wait before alerting.
3 votesWe already do 2 double checks before notifying, which is enough to eliminate any false positive. If you want to ignore real but small downtimes, you should increase the check period.

DMARC Monitor
It would be awesome if updown.io could check DMARC reports.
3 votesThanks for the suggestion! this is not really something related though (uptime monitoring) so it would be a whole different product. For that I clearly recommend https://dmarc.postmarkapp.com (which I use)

Webhook for updown.io Status Page
Currently, the only way to subscribe to the updown.io service Status page is via email. Please allow webhooks to retrieve these alerts. It's extremely important we're notified of any issues (or maintenance) currently being experienced by updown.io if we're to trust it to monitor our services.
It says "Choose from the options below to automatically receive notifications when we update the status site", but there's only one option, which is email?
3 votesThanks for this suggestion, this is unlikely to happen though, this status page is made with https://staytus.co/ which does not offer this option and it would be way too unreliable for people using it anyway (almost never any webhook, hard to make sure the integration is still working, endpoints will go down among the years and people will never remove them, etc..) The email notification is the preferred way of notification.

Force re-check
A check for one of my sites is set on 10 minutes, but I got a timeout error. I fixed it and I would like to re-check now to confirm that the site is back up, without having to wait 10 minutes for the next scheduled check. After the forced check, the next check would then be 10 minutes later. So basically just speeding up the next check.
Perhaps, as an anti-spam measure, only accept a forced re-check if the last check is more than 30 seconds ago.
3 votesThis is not an interesting feature for everyone so we won’t add this to the interface. Though if you need to do it some times, you can alter the URL or string match and set it back, changing this triggers a re-check.

Favorite checks
Favorite checks so they stand out from the rest
3 votesChecks are sorted by frequency by default, which is enough to make important checks stand out. If you really want some custom marker, free to add emojis to your check alias ☺

More heck periods: 2h and 4h
More check intervals: 2h, 4h.

Headline annual rolling uptime
The last month rolling uptime percentage (large headline) is really helpful as it shows the most recent performance. Beside it, I would like to see the Annual Rolling Uptime. If the account has not been active for a year, it should show the period since the account was opened. This is important because after six months, the month-by-month view will have been deleted.
That said, this is the best online service that I've discovered this year.2 votesThanks for your feedback, unfortunately we can’t really add all the number people want, the status page already have lots of them. We’ll probably add the ability to go back in history in the future (on the calendar view for example) but we most probably won’t add an annual uptime in the headline. You can get this number from the API if you want it though, the history is kept forever at the data level.

The SpeedIndex is a time metic. If you run the SpeedIndex audit from 3 different locations and take the medium value. like speedcurve.com
Speed Index from Webpage Test.org

2 votesThis is an interesting website load time indicator but it requires browser simulation and is much more complicated and expensive to compute, that’s why there are dedicated and expensive tools to do just that. This won’t happen in updown.io.

Default check frequency setting
Default check frequency setting
2 votesThis wouldn’t be very useful, you don’t add new checks very often and if you want to add a lot you can use the API or send me a list so you don’t have to configure all the settings manually.
