How can we improve updown.io?

← General

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.

Hello 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!

    Would love this in the UI as well

    Lovely! Would love to see this through the UI as well.

    The data being returned in the API is super-helpful, especially the received headers! I would love to see these on the status page in some form.

    Looking good :) just tested it on one of my checks and it shows what I'd like. I especially like the details_url

  • Erik commented  ·   ·  Report

    +1 from me, as a starter it'd be nice to have the API return more details.

  • Jimmy Shimizu commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is a really helpful feature for reporting back to stake-holders. I tested the API, and although you get time and duration of a failed check, I would also like to see (both on the web page and the API) from which location/locations the check failed. That is a nice way to identify if there is a routing problem causing a false positive, or if it is a wide-spread outage.

    I would even be satisified if failed locations was just part of the slack integration, giving me direct info to evaluate if it is a partial outage which is region-specific.

    Good idea, if you want data you can already use the downtime API (https://updown.io/api#rest) no special skills needed, just put the url in your browser with your API key and the check token (visible on the status page URL) to get all the downtimes with precise time. You can use a json formatting extension or website to make it more readable if needed.

    I'd like to go back to my ISP and say "here are all the failures you've had in the last 3 months/1 year", with data to back it up. This would be amazing.

    THanks!

    Maybe you can also add a function to comment the downtime. So we can log the issues to our customers for example like "planned maintenance" or "server restart" or so.

    Thanks!
