Migrate from UptimeRobot to StatusHive in 10 Minutes

Switching monitoring tools sounds painful. It's not. Here's exactly how to move your monitors from UptimeRobot to StatusHive without missing a beat.

Why switch?

UptimeRobot is great for monitoring your own site. But if you're an agency, you've probably hit these walls:

  • All monitors in one flat list (no client organization)
  • Status pages show UptimeRobot branding
  • No client portal to share with your clients
  • Per-monitor pricing that gets expensive at scale

StatusHive solves all of these. And you can switch in under 10 minutes.

Step 1: Export from UptimeRobot (2 min)

Log into UptimeRobot. Go to My Settings → Export. Download your monitor list as CSV.

The CSV includes: monitor name, URL, type (HTTP/HTTPS/TCP), interval, and alert contacts. This is everything you need.

Step 2: Create your StatusHive account (1 min)

Sign up at statushive.app. It's free — no credit card required. You'll land on your dashboard immediately.

The free plan gives you 10 monitors, 3 clients, and 1 status page. Enough to test the migration.

Step 3: Set up your clients (2 min)

Before importing monitors, create your clients. Go to Clients → Add client.

For each client, enter their name and contact email. This is what makes StatusHive different — every monitor belongs to a client, not a flat list.

Step 4: Import monitors (3 min)

Go to Monitors → Import. Upload your UptimeRobot CSV. Assign each monitor to the right client.

Alternatively, add monitors manually — it takes about 10 seconds per monitor. Name, URL, client, interval. Done.

Step 5: Set up status pages and alerts (2 min)

For each client, create a status page. Customize it with their logo. If you're on Starter or Pro, point a CNAME record for their custom domain.

Configure alerts: email, Slack, or Discord. Each client can have different alert channels.

Share the client portal magic link with your clients. They can check their uptime instantly — no login needed.

You're done

That's it. Your monitors are running, your clients have branded status pages and portals, and everything is organized by client.

The best part: you can keep UptimeRobot running in parallel for a few days to make sure everything is working. Once you're confident, cancel your UptimeRobot plan.
