Get started

Install

Download and install the latest UptimeRobot plugin:

steampipe plugin install uptimerobot

Configuration

Installing the latest uptimerobot plugin will create a config file (~/.steampipe/config/uptimerobot.spc) with a single connection named uptimerobot:

connection "uptimerobot" {
  plugin       = "uptimerobot"

  # API key for your UptimeRobot account.
  # We recommend creating a read-only api_key, for more information on the
  # different types, please see https://uptimerobot.com/api/.
  # Can also be set with the UPTIMEROBOT_API_KEY environment variable.
  # api_key = "u1857235-592bd3c445thisisafakekey"
}

api_key - UptimeRobot API key. Can also be set with the UPTIMEROBOT_API_KEY environment variable.

Postgres FDW

This plugin is available as a native Postgres FDW. Unlike Steampipe CLI, which ships with an embedded Postgres server instance, the Postgres FDW can be installed in any supported Postgres database version.

You can download the tarball for your platform from the Releases page, but it is simplest to install them with the steampipe_postgres_installer.sh script:

/bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://steampipe.io/install/postgres.sh)" -- uptimerobot

The installer will prompt you for the plugin name and version, download and install the appropriate files for your OS, system architecture, and Postgres version.

To configure the Postgres FDW, you will create an extension, foreign server, and schema and import the foreign schema.

CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS steampipe_postgres_uptimerobot;
CREATE SERVER steampipe_uptimerobot FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER steampipe_postgres_uptimerobot OPTIONS (config '<your_config>');
CREATE SCHEMA uptimerobot;
IMPORT FOREIGN SCHEMA uptimerobot FROM SERVER steampipe_uptimerobot INTO uptimerobot;

SQLite Extension

This plugin is available as a SQLite Extension, making the tables available as SQLite virtual tables.

You can download the tarball for your platform from the Releases page, but it is simplest to install them with the steampipe_sqlite_installer.sh script:

/bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://steampipe.io/install/sqlite.sh)" -- uptimerobot

The installer will prompt you for the plugin name, version, and destination directory. It will then determine the OS and system architecture, and it will download and install the appropriate package.

To configure the SQLite extension, load the extension module and then run the steampipe_configure_uptimerobot function to configure it with plugin-specific options.

$ sqlite3
sqlite> .load ./steampipe_sqlite_extension_uptimerobot.so
sqlite> select steampipe_configure_uptimerobot('<your_config>');

Export

This plugin is available as a standalone Export CLI. Steampipe exporters are stand-alone binaries that allow you to extract data using Steampipe plugins without a database.

You can download the tarball for your platform from the Releases page, but it is simplest to install them with the steampipe_export_installer.sh script:

/bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://steampipe.io/install/export.sh)" -- uptimerobot

You can pass the configuration to the command with the --config argument:

steampipe_export_uptimerobot --config '<your_config>' <table_name>
