telegraf config to ingest uptimerobot stats

get your api key from uptimerobot.com and set an environment variable

export UPTIMEROBOT_KEY=xxx

or if you are using Windows/PowerShell

$Env:UPTIMEROBOT_KEY=xxx

the included config simply fetches all monitors from uptimerobot and outputs the state and type of the monitor and the last response time to stdout.

telegraf --config uptimerobot.conf --test --quiet

looks like this
