Easily customize monitoring and alerts
Easily customize monitoring and alerts with Circonus’ RESTful API.
Circonus REST API
Circonus is an API-driven service. Our RESTful API enables users to quickly make needed adjustments as their architecture evolves and requirements change.
With Circonus, the API front-end is you or, more specifically, anything you want to write against our APIs.
Create internal tools using Python, Ruby, Java, PHP, or another language to write functionality to turn knobs, register checks, configure alerts, and otherwise extend and tailor the Platform’s capabilities to your organization’s needs.

Customize the UI
The web portal “front-end” we provide to our customers is one interpretation of the Circonus API. Our customers can, and have, created their own front-ends.
Integrate with anything
The Circonus “back-end” can be accessed via the API to any system. The data extracted from our back-end can be as simple as events, which are fed into an existing ticketing tool, or can be complex data extractions fed into more sophisticated statistical computing applications like R.
Use outside tools to customize the Platform
Use tools like Python, Ruby, or Java programs to write, turn knobs, register checks, configure alerts, and otherwise poke and prod at your Circonus account.
Stretch, flex and scale
The back-end/front-end delineation is quite important here. In an API-driven service like Circonus, the front-end is you. You can write anything you want against our APIs with services, third-party tools, and even internal tools.
