How to add a Pingdom data source

Create an API key in Pingdom

You can create an API key (token) by logging in to Pingdom > Settings > Pingdom API > Add API token

Enter a Name, leave the Access Level set to Read access and click Generate token.

Copy the API token from Pingdom before closing the window:

Add the data source to SquaredUp

1. In SquaredUp browse to Data Sources > Add data source and search for the data source. Alternatively, browse to Settings > Data Sources > Add data source.

2. Paste in the API key you created.

3. Optionally, select whether you would like to restrict access to this data source instance. By default, restricted access is set to off.

   Restrict access to this workspace?

   The term data source here really means data source instance. For example, a user may configure two instances of the AWS data source, one for their development environment and one for production. In that case, each data source instance has its own access control settings.

   By default, Restrict access to this data source? is set to off. The data source can be viewed, edited and administered by anyone. If you would like to control who has access to this data source, switch Restrict access to this data source? to on.

   Use the Restrict access to this data source? dropdown to control who has access to the workspace:

   • By default, the user setting the permissions for the data source will be given Full Control and the Everyone group will be given Link to workspace permissions.

   • Tailor access to the data source, as required, by selecting individual users or user groups from the dropdown and giving them Link to workspace or Full Control permissions.

   • If the user is not available from the dropdown, you are able to invite them to the data source by typing in their email address and then clicking Add. The new user will then receive an email inviting them to create an account on SquaredUp. Once the account has been created, they will gain access to the tenant.

   • At least one user or group must be given Full Control.

   • Admin users can edit the configuration, modify the Access Control List (ACL) and delete the data source, regardless of the ACL chosen.

   Data source access levels

   Access Level:

   Link to workspace	User can link the data source to any workspace they have at least Editor permissions for. Data from the data source can then be viewed by anyone with any access to the workspace. User can share the data source data with anyone they want. User cannot configure the data source in any way, or delete it.
   Full Control	User can change the data source configuration, ACL, and delete the data source.

   See Access control for more information.
