Oauth authentication for uptime and transaction checks

[sreuser]

Hi Pingdom-Team, 

would be great to have possibility to authenticate via oauth for uptime / transaction checks.

Looking forward for positive feedback and adding to your backlog.

Best Regards

@sreuser Thank you for your feedback. I could use some help better understanding your use case. Are you looking to check the uptime/response time of a page that requires you to first requires you to login? Any details you can provide would be very helpful.

[sreuser]

We want to run an uptime / health check on a secured endpoint within our applications / services.

Therefore we would need oauth instead of basic auth only, to make the check even more secure.

@sreuser are the applications or services using an oauth provider or did you guys do something custom in house? If a provider, which one are you using (Google, Facebook, Okta)?

Is there any movement on this request
We have the same issue.  We are using OKTA.
And may have to switch away from pingdom

@acxsjones nothing to report. However, it would be helpful if we could jump on a quick call to discuss this topic. If you have time over the next week or so we can get a call schedule. Direct message me and we can set something up!
