Add a Pingdom metric

Note: Pingdom will be removing their legacy API on December 20th, 2020. Users can currently use the legacy API as a workaround but eventually, this will not be supported. You can find the legacy API here to generate a legacy API key to configure this integration.

The instructions below have been updated so Pingdom metrics can be successfully added with their new API.

  4. Click Add API token.

  6. Click Generate token.

  7. Copy the API token.

A note about Pingdom subaccounts

If you're on Pingdom's enterprise plan that allows for subaccount delegation, we'll need to know the email of the owner account as well. When entering your email, you'll need to use the format below, and continue to use the subaccount password as normal.

1 subaccount@email.com->owner@email.com
