Summary

BigPanda is pleased to announce a new version of the integration with Pingdom.

The new version offers these enhancements:

  • Supports both Basic Alerting and BeepManager Incidents with Alerting in one easy integration.
  • Gives you real-time updates on all status changes for your uptime or transaction checks.
  • Includes additional alert details for better visibility into the problem.
  • Uses the newly released Pingdom state changes webhook.
  • Replaces the previous, email-based integration, which required separate configuration for Up/Down and Incident Alerts.

🚧

Feature end-of-life

The email-based version of the Pingdom integration has been deprecated due to changes in the Pingdom platform, and it will no longer send data to BigPanda. If you are using a previous version of the integration, upgrade to the webhook version.
