Escalation policies, new Sections & Subscribers views in status page settings, filters, unlimited channels per integration

Escalation policies

Set rules on how alerts escalade during an incident. It defines the order of channels that will be triggered for alerts. You can then assign one Escalation Policy per monitor. Try it here: https://app.hyperping.io/escalation-policies

Unlimited integration channels

You can now create as many channels per integration or webhook, and configure multiple escalation policies across multiple channels! Before, only one integration per project was possible.

Status page settings

The Sections & Subscribers views have been revamped, making it more intuitive to add monitors to your status page, show/hide uptime and response time graphs. The Subscribers view show you a comprehensive view of all the subscribed users of your status page, a better filtering system and some limit usage.

Filter monitors

Filter your monitors using their protocol, escalation policy, group or browser check’s runtime. Filters are saved into your browser, so they will remain as you go back to the monitor list or refresh the page!

Misc

New monitoring region: 🇿🇦 Cape Town, South Africa

Browser checks Beta

Browser checks allow you to monitor critical parts of your services, using Node.js' Puppeteer and Playwright APIs to run headless browsers for end-to-end testing. Supports environment variables.

We are looking for beta users. We would love to help you code your scenarios! Contact us at leo@hyperping.io to get access.

const { webkit } = require('playwright');  // Or 'chromium' or 'firefox'

(async () => {
  const browser = await webkit.launch()
  const context = await browser.newContext()
  const page = await context.newPage()
  await page.goto(process.env.SITE_URL)
  // Assert something
  await browser.close()
})()
