Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Trigger#

New Check Created on Pingdom

Description:Emit new event when a new check is added in Pingdom. [See the documentation](https://www.pingdom.com/resources/api)

Version:0.0.1

Pingdom Overview#

The Pingdom API offers a suite of endpoints to monitor the uptime, performance, and interactions for websites and web applications. With this API, you can automate the retrieval of monitor statuses, alerts, and performance data. Integrating Pingdom with Pipedream allows developers to create custom workflows that can notify teams of incidents, track performance metrics, or even trigger actions based on website status changes.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/base.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "pingdom-new-check",
  name: "New Check Created",
  description: "Emit new event when a new check is added in Pingdom. [See the documentation](https://www.pingdom.com/resources/api)",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getLastInfo() {
      return this.db.get("lastCheckId") || null;
    },
    setLastInfo(check) {
      this.db.set("lastCheckId", check.id);
    },
    getObjToEmit(check) {
      return {
        id: check.id,
        summary: `New Check: ${check.name}`,
        ts: check.created,
      };
    },
    filterArray(mostRecentChecks, lastCheckId) {
      if (lastCheckId) mostRecentChecks.filter((item) => item.id > lastCheckId);
      return mostRecentChecks;
    },
    async getItems() {
      const { checks } = await this.pingdom.listChecks();
      return checks;
    },
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Pingdom	`pingdom`	`app`	This component uses the Pingdom app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

Pingdom uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Pingdom account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Pingdom APIs in both code and no-code steps.

About Pingdom#

SolarWinds Pingdom provides real user, uptime, page speed, and synthetic monitoring of web applications from outside the firewall.

AWS Overview#

The AWS API unlocks endless possibilities for automation with Pipedream. With this powerful combo, you can manage your AWS services and resources, automate deployment workflows, process data, and react to events across your AWS infrastructure. Pipedream offers a serverless platform for creating workflows triggered by various events that can execute AWS SDK functions, making it an efficient tool to integrate, automate, and orchestrate tasks across AWS services and other apps.

Action Authentication#

AWS uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your AWS account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to AWS APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Follow the AWS Instructions for creating an IAM user with an associated access and secret key.

As a best practice, attach the minimum set of IAM permissions necessary to perform the specific task in Pipedream. If your workflow only needs to perform a single API call, you should create a user and associate an IAM group / policy with permission to do only that task. You can create as many linked AWS accounts in Pipedream as you'd like.

Enter your access and secret key below.
