Want less monitoring alarms? Introducing quiet hours!
In newest AppBeat version 1.7.0 you can now define quiet hours for your users, services and/or third-party integrations (I will refer to these as “resources”).
Quiet hours are recurring time periods during which alerts (outgoing notifications) are muted for selected resource(s). Quiet hours does not affect monitoring, just notifications. This means that you will always be able to check log entries, even during effective quiet hours.
You can access this new feature from “Alerting” module and by clicking “Quiet hours” tab as shown below:

Detailed website monitoring logging
On September 8th we deployed AppBeat 1.4.3 which brings you more detailed logging for your web monitors. If error occurs we will save server response (HTTP body with header) and send you unique link where you or your support team can view it. Previously you would receive just HTTP status code.
Detailed logs can now help you to diagnose root cause of problem more quickly. They also allow you to keep historic track of incidents (please see note below about how long we keep your detailed logs).
