HipChat Monitoring
Use This InfluxDB Integration for FreeHipChat is Atlassian's web service for group chat, video chat, and screen sharing. It also features cloud-based file storage, searchable message-history and inline-image viewing. The software is available to download onto computers running Windows, Mac or Linux, as well as Android and iOS smartphones and tablets. Since 2014, HipChat has used a freemium model, as much of the service is free with some additional features requiring organizations to pay per month. HipChat was launched in 2010 and acquired by Atlassian in 2012. In September 2017 Atlassian replaced the cloud-based HipChat with a new cloud product called Stride, with HipChat continuing on as the client-hosted HipChat Data Center.
