This feel like starting off on the wrong foot with either a new or even an older monitor, since the outage caused by the mismatched settings will go down in history.

The solution to this is a very useful Test button just next to the Save button which does exactly that: Checks the current monitor settings without updating them.

Other improvements and fixes

• New: Show link to monitor URL.
• New: Add support for adding PING monitors (beta).
• New: Show a user if he’s on the free trial period and how many days he has left.
• New: Show a warning if trying to add a monitor when account is at maximum monitors for the current plan.
• New: Show if there’s a bonus available on the Plan page.

• New: added ‘custom_check’ to ‘beta_only’ team features (#161)
• Fix: remove sprinkler status check (#159)
• Fix: restart PHP 7.3 after deploy
• Fix: ping service outage/recovery alerts not send (#174)
• Fix: enable testing and checking of the ping service type (#166)
• Chore: update dependencies (#154)
• Chore: updated Horizon assets by running php artisan horizon:publish (#155)
• Chore: update dependencies (#173)
• Chore: rename team features and add handlers (#164)
• Refactor: Removed return statement from TeamsMonitorsController@all (#138)
• Refactor: Changed Sprinkler console command to a scheduled task (#126)

This way you will be sure you’ll understand right away what’s the outage alert phone call about.

Edit any monitor and scroll down to the Pronounceable Name input field to add a pronounceable name.

If you leave it empty, we’ll just use the monitor’s name.

Other improvements and fixes

• Fixed weekly & monthly uptime report - overall availability percentage, it was not taking into account the number of monitors, resulting in lower than actual availability %.
• Fixed report heading when the availability was 100%.

You also get aggregated availability and response time for each group of monitors.

If you want it, just head out to Features & Apps in your Account / Profile menu, and enabled it. After that, on the edit / add monitor page you can create or select a group.

Other improvements and fixes

• The Features & Apps page has been polished.
• Various card styling was updated for consistency.
• The edit / delete icons in the desktop list of monitors were too small.
• Phone call outage alerts were enabled for the following countries: Mexico, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Switzerland, Malaysia, Thailand;

The advantage is that you’re always logged in, it automatically refreshes when an update is available and it is going to be packaged in mobile app that will be available in the App Store / Play Store later this year.

Other improvements and fixes

• User profile could not be updated when the signup email was longer than 30 characters.
• The UK flag was missing in the Recent Checks card.
• Phone call alerts to Mexico failed due to Twilio Geo permissions mismatch.
• PWA refresh was broken.
