Changelog
What we have shipped in Vantield Monitor, newest first.
Incident history by plan
- Resolved incidents are now kept for 90 days on Free, 365 days on Pro, and 2 years on Enterprise, measured from when they resolved. Open incidents are never removed.
- The downgrade preview shows how much incident history you keep on the new plan.
- A monitor can no longer have two open incidents at once, even when checks overlap.
More reliable scheduling
- Check scheduling recovers on its own if a scheduled check is missed.
- Check intervals are now 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes, so checks run at even, predictable times.
Outage verification before alerting
- A failed check is re-checked before anyone is alerted. If a re-check succeeds, no alert is sent. The number of consecutive failures required is set per alert policy.
- Alert emails now come from "Vantield Monitor" and render correctly in Outlook dark mode.
Incident pagination and alert retries
- The incidents list is paginated for monitors with a long history.
- Alert emails are retried automatically if delivery fails.
Long-range history
- Check history is summarized hourly, so charts can show up to 365 days depending on your plan.
Team roles and integrations
- Admin, member, and viewer roles control who can change monitors, alert policies, and billing.
- Pending invites can be resent.
- Integration credentials are encrypted at rest, and integrations can be removed.
Redesigned interface
- New dark theme, collapsible sidebar, and a redesigned overview page.
- Downgrades are handled gracefully: monitors over the new plan's limits are paused, not deleted.
Recent checks and default alert policy
- Recent checks are paginated and can be filtered to failures only.
- The built-in default alert policy is shown on the alert policies page.
Plans and free trial
- Free, Pro, and Enterprise plans, with limits enforced per plan and check history kept for each plan's window.
- New accounts get a 14-day Pro trial with no card required.
- Switch between teams from the sidebar.
Vantield Monitor
- The product is now called Vantield Monitor.
- Password reset by email.
- Alert emails match the app's design and link straight to the monitor.
API monitoring and zero-config email
- POST and PUT monitors can send a request body with a JSON, form, XML, or text Content-Type.
- SSL certificate verification can be turned off per monitor for internal services.
- Alert emails work immediately, with no mail server to configure.
Mute, pause, and response checks
- Mute alerts or pause checks for 6, 12, or 24 hours, or until you turn them back on.
- Response timeout threshold: slow responses count as failures and still record their response time.
- Response body match: require a string in the response.
- Failed checks capture full request and response headers. Checks and incidents can be filtered by date.
Alert policies and test alerts
- Alert policies with a failure threshold, recovery notifications, and extra recipients.
- Test Alert sends a notification on demand.
- Custom User-Agent per monitor, and a new monitor's first check runs immediately.
