Migrate to PingPug in Under 2 Minutes

Moving away from bloated, expensive observability platforms doesn't require a sprint-planning meeting. Because PingPug relies on standard HTTP requests instead of heavy SDKs, migrating your cron job monitors takes less than 120 seconds.

Choose your current provider below to see the exact migration steps.

Migrating from UptimeRobot's Heartbeat Monitor

UptimeRobot's heartbeat feature requires navigating complex enterprise dashboards just to get a ping URL. They also often require appending specific query parameters to log successful executions. With PingPug, you drop the parameters and just hit the endpoint.

Step 1: Create a new monitor in the PingPug dashboard to get your unique ID.

Step 2: Swap out the URLs at the end of your scripts.

Before (UptimeRobot)

Bash# UptimeRobot requires a specific URL structure, sometimes with status messages
curl -m 10 --retry 3 "https://heartbeat.uptimerobot.com/m783921-9382?msg=OK"

After (PingPug)

Bash# PingPug is a dead-simple dead man's switch. Just ping the URL.
curl -m 10 --retry 3 https://pingpug.xyz/api/ping/YOUR_UNIQUE_ID

Step 3: Delete your UptimeRobot heartbeat monitor to avoid duplicate alerts and save on your subscription costs.
