Introduction to Data Sources

Published on November 15th, 2022

What are they?

Data Sources periodically collect Facts about your services from third-party vendors or arbitrary APIs.

The Facts collected by Data Sources can be used for defining Checks. You can view the Facts collected by a Data Source by clicking on the Data Source and finding the facts on the details page.

Ready made and Custom Data Sources

Built-in Data Sources with predefined Facts are available to use without any setup.

However, you can also define your own custom Data Sources, which can pull data from external APIs or the files in a repository.

To manage Data Sources, go to Tech Insights → Data Sources.
