DNS record checks
Hi,
I have implemented a simple php script on one of my servers to take a query via GET method and returns the requested DNS record.
The site is restricted to updown.io servers and uses a URL in the following format :https://webserver.com/lookup.php?T=A&D=google.co.uk&R=IP
This uses the following fields :
T - Type of record to return eg. MX/A/TXT
D - Domain to check eg. google.co.uk
R - Record field to return. eg. ip for ip address
The server code simple checks if the record type is a valid one we accept, checks the domain name is in a valid format…3 votesThanks for the suggestion, I’ve just merged this with another one about DNS check. This is something we’re thinking about but is not planned yet.
In the meantime what you made is a great workaround, if other users are interested I encourage them to leave a comment here with a way to contact them so you may give them the URL of your service if you want.

Meta tag "noindex" on public status page
It seems that Google has indexed my public status page, in all available languages. This isn't really necessary; it would be useful if there was some way for me to turn on a "noindex" meta tag, preventing search engines from indexing it.
6 votesHi, 2 months ago we started providing canonical URLs so search engines would only display a single result (without the localized version) but it looks like this is not enough and multiple versions are still indexed. We’ll probably add some noindex to help with that.
On the other end we’re not gonna totally block the indexing of the main status page because this is a feature, being able to lookup a status page when the monitored service is down can be useful. -
New "Hidden" status between Private and Public
I'm really needing a "hidden" status for pages, for them to be shareable (to client ..).
Exactly on the same model that Gdrive/Gsuite :
Private > For your eyes Only
Public > Shareable to the world. Can be linked on a public website. Can be found and indexed by google (and you have a lot .. https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aupdown.io
Hidden > Only for people who know the URL, to be shared internally. With a long hash key in url that cannot be bruteforced, with meta no index , cannot be indexed by google.
(YES, one could find the url if they hack…

Show QUALYS SSL Labs Grade
Show somewhere on the status page, the SSL Labs grade for the monitored host. It can be get trough the API, like https://api.ssllabs.com/api/v3/analyze?host=updown.io (it could be tested once a day for each host)
6 votesYes, I want to do it for a long time but the Qualys API is not free to use for commercial projects so I need to discuss with them (this is currently in discussion).

Provide pagerduty integration
Provide integration for https://www.pagerduty.com/
14 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.

TCP certificate expiry checks
Updown is great for HTTPS checks - loving the cert expiry warnings, and I can also check my mailserver with the TCP checks.
I would like to also check the cert validity on a non-HTTPS ports. (i.e. IMAPS or SMTPS. I'm not asking for any understanding of the protocol for non HTTP(S) ports, just connect and do cert checks.)

Add Chinese monitor location
The response time to Chinese server (located on Alibaba or Baidu for example) is very slow for non-Chinese clients.
14 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.
