The CheckCentral API provides an endpoint for creating checks programmatically. All of the configuration options are available through the API, detailed below. To create a new check through the API, you will require an API token for your organization with Read/Write access. Organization administrators can create tokens through the API portal on your dashboard.
The endpoint is located at https://api.checkcentral.cc/createCheck/?apiToken=APITOKEN
where the APITOKEN placeholder is replaced with your valid token. The request must be made with the Content-Type
header set to application/json
. The body of the request should contain as many of the properties listed below as required to define the check. Any properties not passed will be set to their default value.
For example, to create a new check that:
you would send the following json in the body of the request:
{ "name": "An API Check", "email_alias": "apicheck", "interval_type": "hour", "interval_value": 2, "active_days": [ "mon", "tue", "wed", "thu", "fri" ], "success_conditions": { "required_conditions": "any", "conditions": [ { "message_field": "subject", "matches": "exactly", "value": "Message Success" }, { "message_field": "body", "matches": "contains", "value": "No Errors Reported" } ] } }

CloudShow now supports uploading content from 3 new online sources: Dropbox, Google Drive, and Microsoft OneDrive! Using the all-new upload source selector you can choose where you upload your content from.
As before you can still upload content from your computer, and CloudShow now supports multiple file uploads at once. Just ctrl+click multiple files to select more than one and upload them at the same time.
If you store your files in Dropbox for work or personal use, CloudShow can access them now. You just need to authorize CloudShow to connect to your Dropbox account (as read-only) then just browse to the files you need.
If you use Google Drive to store your media files, CloudShow can now download them into your content section. Once you authorize CloudShow to connect to your Google Drive account (as read-only) your files are just a few clicks away.
If you're a Microsoft OneDrive user, you're in luck! CloudShow can now pull content from your OneDrive account into your CloudShow content. Simply authorize CloudShow to access your OneDrive files (as read-only) and you're all set.

We're very excited to announce the release of the all-new app selector in your CloudShow dashboard. When you're editing a device or template and selecting an app, the app selector gives you some new options.
The most noticeable change is that all apps are grouped together alphabetically to make finding your app easier.
The advanced filtering in the app selector window means you can quickly filter down the apps to the ones you're looking for.
There is now a 'Recommended Apps' section at the top of the app selector window. This new section shows apps that support the files you have uploaded in your Content area. For example, if you upload some images and videos, the Image Slideshow and Video Player apps will be listed here for easy access.
Check out the all-new app selector on your CloudShow dashboard today! And as always, if you would like to see an app that we're missing feel free to contact us.
We're very excited to announce that DisplayFusion 9.5 Beta 1 is now available for download! This version is mostly bug fixes for issues from 9.4.3.
We encourage everyone to update to this new version today to take advantage of these improvements. If you've already purchased DisplayFusion, it's a lifetime license, so you can upgrade to this version at no cost! If you would like to see a complete list of all the changes, please visit the DisplayFusion Beta Change Log.
We're pleased to announce several updates to CheckCentral, with improvements to Check schedules and dashboard interaction.
We have streamlined the frequency settings for checks, with options for simple and advanced scheduling. With advanced schedules, you can now specify both a daily time window to expect emails, and choose which days of the week emails will be sent.
As well, check filters on your dashboard can now be bookmarked, as the filter will be remembered when refreshing the page or sharing the URL. Also, filtering the checks on your CheckCentral dashboard will only display checks from uncollapsed groups, solving an issue that resulted in displaying all checks from a group when uncollapsing it with filters applied.
Additionally, the CheckCentral Data API can now return the recent history of a check's activity if requested.
If you have feedback or questions about these updates or any aspect of CheckCentral, please let us know!
