We have added another neat feature to the Pingdom uptime monitoring service. You asked for it, and we listened. You can now export and download a detailed log of your monitoring results to a CSV file (which you can easily view in Excel).

Above: You can find the export option on the Detailed Log report page in our control panel.

The really nice part is that you can specify exactly what kind of data you want exported. What you see in the Detailed Log report is what you will export to the CSV file. The Detailed Log allows you to see every single monitoring result from every single monitoring location and filter it according to your needs. This means that you can show, for example:

• All test results from a certain day or series of days.
• Only detected errors (downtime).
• Any response times that are over a certain limit.
• Results only from a specific monitoring location.

And any other combinations you can think of. So now, if you want an Excel file with every single test result from March 22, 2008 for one of the websites you have been monitoring with Pingdom, this can be accomplished in mere seconds. Neat, isn’t it?

This feature, as many others we have added or are working on, is a result of feedback from our great customers.

We hope you like it. As always, don’t hesitate to let us know what you think.

The New England Patriots held what seemed to be a commanding lead (17-15) with five minutes left of Super Bowl XLVI last night. But the New York Giants came back and managed to win with 21-17.

As exciting as the game sounds, we missed the whole thing, instead spending our time watching the Superbowl.com website.

It turned out to be a rather dull thing to do because the site held up well and there was no downtime at all. The response time also didn’t give away anything significant in terms of online Super Bowl traffic.
