  • Twitter DM Notifications Are Fixed (Were They Down?)

    A small update on a fix:a PHP-version update on the server of Uptime Robot’s engine (1.5 days ago) had caused our Twitter DM notifications library to not function properly. The good news : it is fixed now and working as expected. Sorry for that guys -and, we have experienced that a serious number of things […]

  • Better Accuracy With Multi-Continent Monitoring (& New IPs)

    You’ll remember that Uptime Robot is controlling the monitors from multiple locations to double-check and make sure that they are really down or up.

  • Small Update: Notification Messages Now Include The Amount Of Downtime

  • New Feature: View Past Events/Logs

    If you every want to find out the date-time of a specific downtime or how long it had taken, the only option was to check the date-times of the notifications sent (from e-mails- tweets, text messages or RSS). Here is a new feature which is asked most by Uptime Robot users: “ability to view past […]
