3. Integrate checks in Pingdom
This chapter explains how to integrate checks in Pingdom. This assumes that an account in
Pingdom is available which allows for adding a check.
3.1 Adding a check
Click on ‘Checks’ and ‘Add new checks’ in the Pingdom dashboard. You will now see the
following:
Now give your check a friendly name and type in the URL of the health check you created,
including the profile ID: https://{yourservice.com}/health/check.ashx?profileid=1
Some optional settings are available, which are not required for this check. The next step is to
define who gets notified in case of system-down and how this person is alerted (email, SMS,
twitter etc).
3.2 Monitoring checks
Once a check is added and started, Pingdom will collect monitoring data and will keep track of
statistics regarding system uptime.
