Switch from Pingdom

How the import works

1. Log in to Instatus or create a free account. The Pingdom importer opens automatically in your dashboard.

2. Paste your Pingdom API token. Get it in Pingdom under Settings → The Pingdom API.
3. Select the checks you want to import.

4. Your monitors start checking immediately and can post to your status page when they fail or recover.

Why switch from Pingdom to Instatus?

• Pingdom charges per check, while Instatus includes uptime monitoring with your status page
• Your uptime checks become Instatus monitors that run every 30 seconds
• Monitors can update your status page automatically when something fails or recovers
