Authentication

Your requests to RUPKKI Health Checks Management API must authenticate using an API key. All API keys are project-specific. There are no account-wide API keys. By default, a project on RUPKKI Health Checks doesn't have an API key. You can create read-write and read-only API keys on the Project Settings page.

read-write key
Has full access to all documented API endpoints.
read-only key

Only works with the following API endpoints:

Omits sensitive information from the API responses. See the documentation of individual API endpoints for details.

The client can authenticate itself by including an X-Api-Key: <your-api-key> header in an HTTP request. Alternatively, for POST requests with a JSON request body, the client can put an api_key field in the JSON document. See the Create a new check section for an example.

API Requests

For POST requests, the RUPKKI Health Checks API expects the request body to be a JSON document (not a multipart/form-data encoded form data).

API Responses

RUPKKI Health Checks uses HTTP status codes wherever possible. In general, 2xx class indicates success, 4xx indicates a client error, and 5xx indicates a server error.

The response may contain a JSON document with additional data.

Get a List of Existing Checks

GET https://health.rupkki.sk/api/v1/checks/

Returns a list of checks belonging to the user, optionally filtered by one or more tags.

Query String Parameters

tag=<value>

Filters the checks and returns only the checks that are tagged with the specified value.

This parameter can be repeated multiple times.

Example:

https://health.rupkki.sk/api/v1/checks/?tag=foo&tag=bar

Response Codes

200 OK
The request succeeded.
401 Unauthorized
The API key is either missing or invalid.

Example Request

The possible values for the status field are: new, started, up, grace, down, and paused.

When using the read-only API key, RUPKKI Health Checks omits the following fields from responses: ping_url, update_url, pause_url, resume_url, channels. It adds an extra unique_key field. The unique_key identifier is stable across API calls, and you can use it in the Get a single check and Get a list of check's status changes API calls.

Example Read-Only Response

When using the read-only API key, RUPKKI Health Checks omits the following fields from responses: ping_url, update_url, pause_url, resume_url, channels. It adds an extra unique_key field. This identifier is stable across API calls.

Note: although API omits the *_url fields in read-only API responses, the client can easily construct these URLs themselves if they know the check's unique UUID.

Create a Check

POST https://health.rupkki.sk/api/v1/checks/

Creates a new check and returns its ping URL. All request parameters are optional and will use their default values if omitted.

With this API call, you can create both Simple and Cron checks:

  • To create a Simple check, specify the timeout parameter.
  • To create a Cron check, specify the schedule and tz parameters.

Request Parameters

name

string, optional, default value: ""

Name for the new check.

tags

string, optional, default value: ""

A space-delimited list of tags for the new check. Example:

{"tags": "reports staging"}

desc

string, optional.

Description of the check.

timeout

number, optional, default value: 86400.

The expected period of this check in seconds.

Minimum: 60 (one minute), maximum: 31536000 (365 days).

Example for a 5-minute timeout:

{"timeout": 300}

grace

number, optional, default value: 3600.

The grace period for this check in seconds.

Minimum: 60 (one minute), maximum: 31536000 (365 days).

schedule

string, optional, default value: "* * * * *".

A cron expression defining this check's schedule.

If you specify both timeout and schedule parameters, RUPKKI Health Checks will create a Cron check and ignore the timeout value.

Example for a check running every half-hour:

{"schedule": "0,30 *  * "}

tz

string, optional, default value: "UTC".

Server's timezone. This setting only has an effect in combination with the schedule parameter.

Example:

{"tz": "Europe/Riga"}

manual_resume

boolean, optional, default value: false.

Controls whether a paused check automatically resumes when pinged (the default) or not. If set to false, a paused check will leave the paused state when it receives a ping. If set to true, a paused check will ignore pings and stay paused until you manually resume it from the web dashboard.

methods

string, optional, default value: "".

Specifies the allowed HTTP methods for making ping requests. Must be one of the two values: "" (an empty string) or "POST".

Set this field to "" (an empty string) to allow HEAD, GET, and POST requests.

Set this field to "POST" to allow only POST requests.

Example:

{"methods": "POST"}

channels

string, optional

By default, this API call assigns no integrations to the newly created check.

Set this field to a special value "*" to automatically assign all existing integrations. Example:

{"channels": "*"}

To assign specific integrations, use a comma-separated list of integration UUIDs. You can look up integration UUIDs using the Get a List of Existing Integrations API call.

Example:

{"channels":
 "4ec5a071-2d08-4baa-898a-eb4eb3cd6941,746a083e-f542-4554-be1a-707ce16d3acc"}

Alternatively, if you have named your integrations in RUPKKI Health Checks dashboard, you can specify integrations by their names. For this to work, your integrations need non-empty unique names, and they must not contain commas. The names must match exactly, whitespace is significant.

Example:

{"channels": "Email to Alice,SMS to Alice"}

unique

array of string values, optional, default value: [].

Enables "upsert" functionality. Before creating a check, RUPKKI Health Checks looks for existing checks, filtered by fields listed in unique.

If RUPKKI Health Checks does not find a matching check, it creates a new check and returns it with the HTTP status code 201.

If RUPKKI Health Checks finds a matching check, it updates the existing check and returns it with HTTP status code 200.

The accepted values for the unique field are name, tags, timeout, and grace.

Example:

{"name": "Backups", unique: ["name"]}

In this example, if a check named "Backups" exists, it will be returned. Otherwise, a new check will be created and returned.

success_kw

string, optional, default value: "".

Specifies the keywords for classifying inbound email messages as "Success" signals. Separate multiple keywords using commas.

Use this field in combination with the filter_subject and filter_body fields. Setting filter_subject to true enables filtering on the email subject line, filter_body enables filtering on the entire email body. RUPKKI Health Checks supports both plain text and HTML email messages.

Example:

{"filter_subject": true, "success_kw": "SUCCESS,COMPLETED"}

In this example, the email counts as success if the Subject line contains either the word "SUCCESS" or the word "COMPLETED".

failure_kw

string, optional, default value: "".

Specifies the keywords for classifying inbound email messages as "Failure" signals. Separate multiple keywords using commas.

Use this field in combination with the filter_subject and filter_body fields. Setting filter_subject to true enables filtering on the email subject line, filter_body enables filtering on the entire email body. RUPKKI Health Checks supports both plain text and HTML email messages.

Example:

{"filter_subject": true, "failure_kw": "FAILED, ERROR"}

In this example, the email counts as failure if the Subject line contains either the word "FAILED" or the word "ERROR".

filter_subject

boolean, optional, default value: false.

Enables filtering of inbound email messages by looking for keywords in their subject lines. See also the success_kw and failure_kw fields.

filter_body

boolean, optional, default value: false.

Enables filtering of inbound email messages by looking for keywords in their message body. See also the success_kw and failure_kw fields.

subject

string, optional, default value: "".

Deprecated. Use the success_kw, filter_subject and filter_body fields instead.

Specifies the keywords for classifying inbound email messages as "Success" signals. Separate multiple keywords using commas. If any of the keywords is found in an email message's Subject line, the email message will count as "Success".

Set this field to "" (an empty string) to consider all inbound email messages as "Success" (unless they match any keywords listed in subject_fail and are thus classified as "Failure").

Example:

SUCCESS,COMPLETED

In this example, the email counts as success if the Subject line contains either the word "SUCCESS" or the word "COMPLETED".

subject_fail

string, optional, default value: "".

Deprecated. Use the failure_kw, filter_subject and filter_body fields instead.

Specifies the keywords for classifying inbound email messages as "Failure" signals. Separate multiple keywords using commas. If any of the keywords is found in an email message's Subject line, the email message will count as "Failure".

Set this field to "" (an empty string) to perform no "Failure" classification.

Example:

FAILED,ERROR

In this example, the email counts as failure if the Subject line contains either the word "FAILED" or the word "ERROR".

Pause Monitoring of a Check

POST https://health.rupkki.sk/api/v1/checks/<uuid>/pause

Disables monitoring for a check without removing it. The check goes into a "paused" state. You can resume monitoring of the check by pinging it, or by running the Resume API call (useful when check's manual_resume=True).

This API call has no request parameters.

Response Codes

200 OK
The check was successfully paused.
401 Unauthorized
The API key is either missing or invalid.
403 Forbidden
Access denied, wrong API key.
404 Not Found
The specified check does not exist.

Example Request

curl https://health.rupkki.sk/api/v1/checks/0c8983c9-9d73-446f-adb5-0641fdacc9d4/pause \
    --request POST --header "X-Api-Key: your-api-key" --data ""

Note: the --data "" argument forces curl to send a Content-Length request header even though the request body is empty. For HTTP POST requests, the Content-Length header is sometimes required by some network proxies and web servers.
