Changelog

We're excited to announce a small but mighty enhancement to our recent checks table on the "view monitor" page. Now, when you hover over the location column, you'll see a tooltip that displays the city, country, and area.

It will also display the status code for HTTP checks, the full date and time of the check, and the latency in milliseconds when hovering on the corresponding components.

This may seem like a small change, but it's a big deal when it comes to debugging issues that are happening only from certain monitoring nodes that are in the same country.

Before, it was difficult to tell which nodes were acting up. But now, with this enhancement, it's much easier to pinpoint the exact location of any issues, making troubleshooting a breeze.

We also squashed some more pesky bugs 🪲 that were making the Free account users lives harder.

Removed

This release brings some pretty cool updates to the add/edit monitor box, including a major revamp of the alerting rules - the settings of a monitor that determine who gets alerted, when they get alerted and how they get alerted.

On the Add / Edit Monitor dialog you might notice a few changes:

• It's in two columns on desktop;
• The Test Monitor button is just below the monitoring settings;
• The Alerting Rules are easier to skim;
• The Save button is in the lower right;
• There is a Cancel button next to the Save one (but you can still close the dialog from the upper left X button).

On the Alerting Rules front there have been major updates:

The biggest change of the alert rules is the ability to set different recipients on the same channel at different delays, for example you can set to call someone after 2 minute of downtime and then someone else after 10 minutes.

Also we added more delay options, up to 1 day. Whatever works for you!
