Apex Ping Integration Guide

Apex Ping Integration

Apex Ping provides uptime monitoring for websites and APIs. It has flexible alerting, rich reporting, and weekly summaries.

How Apex Ping users benefit from PagerTree

Apex Ping triggers user defined alerts by monitoring website & API uptime. PagerTree acts as the dispatcher for these alerts, determining the right people to notify based on on-call schedules. PagerTree notifies them via email, sms, voice, and/or push notifications until the incident is acknowledged or closed.

Functionality of Integration

The Apex Ping integration is one-way, meaning:

  • When a monitor alert is triggered ('Triggered' state) in Apex Ping, an incident is created in PagerTree automatically.
  • When a monitor alert is resolved ('Resolved' state) in Apex Ping, the incident is resolved in PagerTree automatically.
