OAuth2 Support for API Monitors
Would be nice if there was a way to monitor APIs that are secured by OAuth2. Example: Monitor an API called /Status requires a bearer token in the authorization header which is retrieved from a call to /Auth with a client key and secret. This is the client_credentials flow.
Server Agent on AWS Linux, annoying issues changed API behavior
Hi Site24x7 Team, we discover all of our AWS EC2 automatically, what works fine. Further, we install by automation a Linux Agent on that EC2 machine. Both Monitors are afterwards concluded into one monitor via Server > EC2. So far, so good. Previously, we could during installation add some parameters to the install command in order to get the correct Resource Profile, Configuration Template etc.. Example: ./Site24x7_Linux_64bit.install -i -key=$accesskey -dn=$HOSTNAME -gn=postfix -ct=postfix -rp=postfix
Monitor OAuth 2 secured Websites, API end points, and SOAP Web Services
Hello folks, Over the past few months, it's been our constant endeavor to make continuous improvements to our monitoring suite. We've introduced lot many enhancements over this period which you can learn about by referring our What's New page. Now we're making further strides in this direction by launching our capability to monitor OAuth 2 secured websites, APIs and SOAP web services. What's OAuth 2.0? OAuth 2 is a delegation protocol used by a wide variety of client applications for user authentication
To be able to Pull Reports on servers only associated with a SubGroup
One can pull Server Reports associated with a Group, but one cannot choose the SubGroup
Web Monitor Responsetime Threshold
Are there plans to include Thresholds for response time for web checks? Would be nice to have warning and critical levels. We had a huge spike in response time for a check and no notification got sent out. Would be nice to be able to set these in the check instead of having to create profiles. We have sites that vary in load times so setting profiles would be way too much extra work.
Round Robin Location Checks
It would be nice if you could have website checks occur in a round robin fashion based on locations that you choose. Today it always checks from the primary unless there is an issue. There may however be an issue from a specific location that is never seen because things are working fine for the primary location.
Update most recent system from AD or LDAP to install site 24x7 agent
Hello, I want to do a remote install on 1 system running Windows from the Site 24x7 console. I can see other systems but not the one I want to perform the remote install. while using the remote install option. Please advise the step to update the list from AD or any ldap config. Thanks Rakesh
Disintegrate / de-intergrate EC2 / Agent Monitors function per Account
Hi, As this function can only be done by Support, I would suggest to add this function per Account/ MSP Account: If the AWS Monitor is setup to include EC2 Instances, AND in regard to the stats for the HDD & RAM that the Agent is also installed on the said EC2 Instances, then both Monitors are automatically merged together producing 1 single Monitor but with 2 Pricing Modules. This can only be undone by support on a per account basis. It would be a benefit if the Instance in question that has both
Single Text Message Number For Alerts and add shortcodes
As a user, I would like to only receive Site24x7 Alerts from one number. It would also be incredibly convenient if they were to use shortcodes.
Change monitor action through API
The support level of our EC2 instances is defined by a tag on AWS level. We have 4 different actions defined, one for each support level. What we want is change the defined action based on what support tag is added. So I was thinking a Python script that checks all instances, gets the support tags, and then set the actions attached to those monitors through the API. So the question is: can one change the attached action of a monitor through the API, and how?
Add authentication to custom status pages (currently entirely publicly available..)
I would like to add some type of authentication to custom staus pages that I create. Currently they're all open to the internet.. Auth could through an S24x7 credentials with users given access to specific reports..or LDAPS..or anything you liike! as long as there;s a prompt for a username nad password when trying to access, I dont care how it works! Cheers AJ
What's New in APM Insight
At Site24x7 APM Insight, the core focus has always been targeted towards making monitoring easy for end users. With that prespective, we have rolled out a few enhancements this month: Enhancements in Trace view : In general, methods that are being called during a particular transaction in the same sequence are listed in Trace view. You can now view timeline components of individual traces (Gantt chart) with options to filter, sort and search for ease of access. You can filter a particular trace with
status page showing blank without login
Hey, we are trying site24x7. it works very well. however ,the status page does not work as expected. We have to login to access the status page via permalink. otherwise the status page will show blank page wihout login. is it by design?
hyper-v counters
Given the continual delay in official hyper-v support, I was wondering if anyone has tried to create something by monitoring important counters? Monitoring them just as servers is of limited value as it only really provides up/down monitoring. I need to see load and performance of the host.
On premise poller service stops
Hi I just installed the On premise poller on a customer machine (Win 7) residing inside the customer network. When starting the OnPremisePoller service i get the Interactive Services Detection message When trying to access this I cant get anything at all. The service then stops after about 10-20 seconds. When looking in Event viewer I see that there is an error here. the same error comes up for the Site24x7 Agent Helper service and the Site24x7 Windows Agent service. These two are however still running.
Agent preventing logout on macOS
Hello, I'm having a problem on macOS Sierra 10.12.2 where the agent will not allow me to logout the user (who is an administrator) without Force Quitting the agent. The agent stays in the dock (which I don't believe it should be), and if I right-click the agent icon it says "Not Responding". The agent does work though! I just have to force-quit it to be able to logout of this computer running as a FileMaker Server. Also, if I Get Info on the agent app, it says, "Fetching..." in the location where

I need to stream line the users or email addressess on who should recive the Root cause analysis reports - which is not possible currenlty - can you please lookinto that.
Need to get a list of your monitors?
Have you ever needed to get a list of monitors and their details? I did and wrote this script to do just that. Make sure to change the Zoho-authtoken to your own, this one is a random one I grabbed from the API documentation. #!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import pycurl import json from io import BytesIO from optparse import OptionParser # Define Options parser = OptionParser(usage='Usage: %prog [options] arguments. Type -h for more info.') parser.add_option('-t', '--type', type='choice',
Trouble Alerts
Is there a way to setup trouble alerts for our web monitors based on locations? Example: if a site is being reported as down from one or more locations up to the down threshold to have a trouble alert sent out and once the threshold is hit then a down alert is sent.
Support for filesystem check in server monitoring agent
Hi Please provide support to check when a file system became read only because it happens all the time when there is a network issue in cloud environment. This check will notify us immediately and we can avoid critical problems.
Specify Trouble/Down alert for each threshold check
At the moment there is no option to change the alert from Trouble to Down - in my case it is needed for some more sensitive systems.
On-Prem Linux poller runs as application not service
This is a feature request: Can we have the on-prem agent run as a service rather then an application. If ever the host is restarted and the application closes, it seems to be quite a pain to get it to start up again in Site24x7. Also for it to work an application has to be running which doesn't seem ideal, especially if the host is being shared with other applications and engineers.
What is polling?
Hi, I am new to this tool. I have understood many components in this but not able to Figure out what is Polling. My query is what Polling does? what information is captured in polling? Is it an Important component? Kindly help me to understand this.

Site24x7 running on EU Datacenter
Due to European Union data regulations concerns, would be nice to use Site24x7 running in a EU Datacenter.
Cannot add more that 10 services to a server monitor?
I am trying to add services to a server monitor. I am unable to add more than 10 windows services or process per server monitor. Is there something I can do to be able to add more than 10? We monitor a lot of services in our environment and if that is a hard limit that would be a problem for us. Any insight would be helpful.
[Announcement]: Now create multiple PagerDuty integrations in Site24x7
Hello, We're excited to announce the implementation of multiple PagerDuty integrations in Site24x7. With the all new integration workflow, you can create multiple PagerDuty integrations in your Site24x7 account via separate PagerDuty Integration keys. It enables Site24x7 to invoke different incident workflows in PagerDuty for a unique set of monitor events. What can you achieve with this all new integration workflow? PagerDuty is an advanced alerts management tool that offers IT alerting, on-call
Poll Rate ?
Where can I configure the Poll rate or poll time or delay? I have some servers that really only need to be checked a few times an hour. Thank you
Feature Request: Remove "State" from Monitor details and replace with "status"
When listing all monitors via the API or getting a specific monitor's details a variable of "state" is returned. this "state" is either Active(0) or Suspended(5) (per support.) To get a monitor's actual "status" you have to call the status api calls. Feature Request: Replace "state" in the monitor details with "status." "State" is a pointless variable when "status" provides the same and more information.
More detailed info on "SSL Certificate modified" alerts
Would be nice to have a note of what was modified that caused the alert.
Alerting thresholds by work day - FEATURE REQUEST
It would be great to be able to adjust alerting thresholds by user/company based on the work day. Not just completely stop alerts, but limit them where prudent. Example. During business hours we would like to be alerted to an internet outage immediately, but after business hours it may be OK to wait a couple hours before being alerted to see if the line comes back up on it's own. Thank you for your consideration!
AWS tags to webhook
I know you guys have some AWS tags related changes in the pipeline. One feature that would be a tremendous help, would be the option to send AWS tags when a monitor alerts. One can now add custom tags to a webook. Adding the AWS level tags automatically to the json that gets sent to that webhook would be perfect!
Integrating Onprem Pollers alerts to PagerDuty
Hello Team, We do not have an option to select the onPrem poller at PagerDuty (third party inetgration) page so as to send the alerts integrated with PagerDuty tool. I would request this to be made possible as this would be an essential feature everyone will be looking for. I understand that choosing "All monitors" would make it possible but that is not something which we are looking for- since we do not want us to be spammed for all the alerts. Thanks for your understanding. Regards, Sowmya
Webhooks API
From your announcements I saw you are now supporting general webhooks as means of notifications. This means we can migrate from (ab)using Actions to using Webhooks. I was rewriting our setup scripts, and wanted to create a third_party_service using the API, the same way we do for Actions. However, when trying to post to 'https://www.site24x7.com/api/third_party_services', I get a Method not allowed. Can we not POST to this API and what is the correct way then to create webhooks using the API? As
Migrating monitors to different pollers / monitoring locations
Would be nice to have a way to migrate a group of monitors from one monitoring location to another. For example, I had to migrate 33 monitors from one on-premise poller to a new one and intead of being able to migrate them in a batch, I had to go into each one and do it one by one...with Site24x7's inability to open the monitors in new tabs, it's a painsaking task with lots of backspacing
Default webhook
We use webhooks in Third Party Integrations exclusively for alerting. This works great, but there is one drawback. Newly created monitors don't have webhooks assigned and thus have no alerting. We need to either manually set the webhook or set it on intervals through the API. Would it be possible to add the option to set a default webhook when a monitor is added?
Can we have geography based web traces
The web traces comes on a global level for now, it would be good to have it on geography basis to improve the geogrpahy based delays.
polling interval modification
Hi, My company is using Site24x7 for monitoring services. Just chatted with Sushma, and found out there is no way to modify polling interval/frequency for Server (Linux) monitoring. Currently is set by default as 5 minutes which we have urgent requirement for 1 or 2 minutes interval. I was informed that it is not possible to do it, even with my request to try to modify the configuration agent (/opt/site24x7/monagent/conf). I believe your agent pick up some configuration to send the monitoring data
