We are currently actively testing advanced web monitor which will allow you to: select HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, HEAD, TRACE) select HTTP protocol version (1.0, 1.1 or newest HTTP 2) select IP version which should be used when sending request to server (IPv4 or IPv6) specify custom headers (you will be able to set custom user agent, …) define custom payload (for example for JSON POST, …) Stay tuned!

We are making our free monitoring plan even more powerful - now with 50 free checks! Sign up now for free!

In new version of AppBeat (1.3.8) we added new option under “Reports / SQL Archive Analyzer”. You can now create your own SQL filters to get archived log data that you need (basic SQL knowledge required). Data can also be exported to CSV files.

If you want to have highly available Azure SQL Database it is highly recommended that you configure Active Geo-Replication (this feature is available for all databases in all service tiers). Active Geo-Replication consists of two (or more) databases in different regions, where one database is primary (read + write operations) and all other databases are secondaries (allowed only read operations). Secondary databases are automatically synced with changes in your primary database.

We expanded our global network of monitoring probes with new locations in United States (West US), Europe, Asia and Australia. Happy monitoring!
