Add a Pingdom metric
Note: Pingdom will be removing their legacy API on December 20th, 2020. Users can currently use the legacy API as a workaround but eventually, this will not be supported. You can find the legacy API here to generate a legacy API key to configure this integration.
The instructions below have been updated so Pingdom metrics can be successfully added with their new API.
Before you begin
You will need to link Pingdom as a third-party data source before you can add a Pingdom metric to your page.

A note about Pingdom subaccounts
If you're on Pingdom's enterprise plan that allows for subaccount delegation, we'll need to know the email of the owner account as well. When entering your email, you'll need to use the format below, and continue to use the subaccount password as normal.
