Import from StatusCake
Vantaj can import your StatusCake uptime tests - HTTP, HEAD, ping, TCP, and SMTP - with a single API key. No CSV exports, no re-typing URLs, no downtime in your coverage.
Import from StatusCake
HTTP, HEAD, ping, TCP, and SMTP uptime tests are all supported.
- In StatusCake, open Account → API Keys
- Create a API key
- Paste it below - it's used once to read your monitor list, and never stored
Before you start
You need a StatusCake API key. It's available on every StatusCake plan, including the free one:
- Log in to StatusCake and open Account → API Keys
- Copy your API key (or generate one if you haven't yet)
Vantaj uses the key once to read your uptime test list and never stores it.
Running the import
- In Vantaj, go to Settings → Import Monitors and pick Quick import from StatusCake
- Paste your API key and click Fetch monitors
- Review the list - everything importable is selected by default. Monitors that already exist in Vantaj (matched by URL) are flagged and deselected so you don't create duplicates
- Click Import - monitors are created and checks start immediately
Tests that were paused in StatusCake are imported as paused in Vantaj. Everything is imported into your currently active project.
What carries over
| StatusCake | Vantaj | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| HTTP / HEAD test | HTTP(s) monitor | Name and URL carry over as-is |
| Find string / do-not-find | HTTP(s) monitor with a response assertion | "Find string" becomes must contain; "do not find" becomes must not contain |
| Ping test | Ping (ICMP) monitor | |
| TCP test | Port (TCP) monitor | The configured port carries over |
| SMTP test | SMTP monitor | |
| Check rate | Check interval | Snapped to the nearest Vantaj interval, respecting your plan's minimum |
| Paused state | Paused state | Paused tests stay paused |
What doesn't carry over
- DNS and SSH tests - these test types aren't imported.
- SSL tests, domain monitoring, and page-speed tests - these are separate StatusCake products. In Vantaj, SSL and domain tracking attach to HTTP monitors and the Domains page instead - create an HTTP monitor for the site and enable domain tracking to get the same coverage. Page-speed testing has no Vantaj equivalent.
- Historical uptime data - your Vantaj history starts at import time.
- Contact groups - notification setups work differently across providers. Set up your integrations once under Alerts & Notifications and they apply to all monitors, imported or not.
Plan limits
Imports count toward your plan's monitor limit, shared across uptime monitors, heartbeats, and domains. If your selection exceeds the remaining allowance, the importer tells you before anything is created - deselect a few monitors or upgrade your plan first.
Check rates below your plan's minimum are raised to the closest allowed value (e.g. a 60-second rate becomes 5 minutes on the free plan).
Migrating from another provider?
One-click import is also available for UptimeRobot, Pingdom, and Better Stack. Coming from somewhere else? Use the CSV import, or script it with the REST API.
