AWS Cloudwatch alarm support

Support for triggering uptime checks from AWS Cloudwatch alarms.

Right now the only sensible way to handle that are webhook checks and custom handling of triggering them from AWS CloudWatch alarm.

Amount of webhook checks for this purpose is extremely limiting in your subscription model compared to competing products.
There are ways around that with AWS Composite alarms, but that’s introduces some issues when it comes to visibility of what happened from your tool as the context one can pass to webhook endpoints is very limiting (no context other then response_time or state_is_up is supported).

Options to solve this use case would be:

• Dedicated cloudwatch alarm basic check type (which could automatically handle context sent from SNS topic passing the output from triggered cloudwatch alarm). New integration type maybe for that purpose leveraging webhooks, but being reasonably priced?

• Change webhook alarm type to basic check type instead of advanced — I’m quite surprised you consider it as such.

• Allow for passing more context in POST json reqeust to webhook check type. With that I could create composite cloudwatch alarm that checks multiple vitals of a service and sends notifications to uptime with the context such as which underlying alarm was triggered.
