Prerequisites

• An active Pingdom account from which data is to be ingested exists.

• The API token is available to provide Hevo access to your Pingdom account data.

• You must be logged in as an Account Owner, Editor, or Admin user to obtain the API key. Else, you can obtain it from your account editor, owner or administrator.

• You are assigned the Team Administrator, Team Collaborator, or Pipeline Administrator role in Hevo to create the Pipeline.

Obtaining the API Token

   • Access Level: Select the Read access permission to allow Hevo to ingest your data.

6. Click Generate token.

7. In the API token pop-up dialog, under the Your new API token section, click Copy corresponding to the API token to copy it and save it securely like any other password. Use this token while configuring your Hevo Pipeline.
