Bring your monitors over,
leave the 2012 styling behind.

Before you start

Open your UptimeRobot dashboard and jot down, for each monitor you want to keep:

• The URL it checks.
• The expected status code, if you set one beyond a plain 200.
• Where its badge or status link currently lives on your site.

That last one matters most — it is the thing your visitors actually see, and the reason to move.

1. Recreate your monitors

In the Glimly dashboard, create a Service to group related checks, then add a Monitor for each URL. Paste the URL, choose the HTTP method, and pick an interval — 5-minute on Free, 1-minute on $15/mo Pro and $39/mo Business. For a certificate, add an SSL monitor instead; it probes expiry on a daily cadence.

2. Point your alerts

Email alerts are on every tier. Webhook alerts are available on Pro and Business — point one at a Slack incoming webhook, your own backend, or anything that accepts a POST. One delivery fires when an incident opens and one when it closes, never on every failed check.

3. Forge a Badge or Card

This is the part UptimeRobot could not give you. The Badge is a server-rendered SVG that drops anywhere an <img> tag is allowed — a footer, a GitHub README, an email signature. The Card is a richer JS embed for a /status section. Forge one in the dashboard and copy the snippet:

<a href="https://glimly.dev" target="_blank" rel="noopener">
  <img src="https://glimly.dev/b/<token>.svg" alt="acme status" />
</a>

Sizes, themes, and attribution rules are covered in Badge install. On Pro and Business the Badge drops the "powered by Glimly" mark.

4. Swap the old widget

Replace the UptimeRobot badge — or the link to your status.yourdomain.com subdomain — with the Glimly snippet. Same spot, same purpose, but now it matches your typography and theme. Once the new Badge reads correctly, you can retire the old monitor.

Which tier maps to my UptimeRobot plan?

• Free — 3 monitors, 5-minute checks, a branded Badge. Real monitoring to evaluate with, not a trial.
• $15/mo Pro — 25 monitors, 1-minute checks, the unbranded Badge, the Card embed, and webhook alerts.
• $39/mo Business — 200 monitors and 20 Services for small teams.
