How to add a Pingdom provider in SquaredUp

This article describes the one-time configuration to create a Pingdom provider for use with the Web API tile. For more information on how to use the tile see How to use the Web API tile with Pingdom

These steps guide you through how to create a simple provider:

1. Log on to SquaredUp and navigate to the right-hand menu ☰ then system and then click on the web api perspective.
2. Click Add new provider.

3. Leave the provider type as simple

4. In the service name box type in a suitable name, e.g. Pingdom

5. The base URL should be the current Pingdom API URL, for example:
   https://api.pingdom.com/api/3.1/
   We recommend you include the API version here in the base URL, so if the API version changes you only need to update it here, rather than in every tile.

6. Under default headers click add
   
7. Add the following:
   
   name: authorization
   value: Bearer <API token from Pingdom>
   
   You can create an API token by logging in to Pingdom > Integrations > The Pingdom API > Add API token
   
   Copy the API token from Pingdom before closing the window:
   
   
   Paste the API token into the authorization value box in SquaredUp, prepended by the word Bearer
   
   
   
8.  Click add provider.
