The Place Where Modern Operations & Technology Come Together
Distrusted Symantec Certificates are Added to SSL Monitoring
Google had announced that Chrome would begin distrusting certificates issued by Symantec Corporation’s PKI and the decision is followed by other major browsers. These are the certificates by Thawte, VeriSign, Equifax, GeoTrust, and RapidSSL that are issued before 1st of December 2017.
Introducing "HTTP Method Selection"
Uptime Robot sends HEAD requests for HTTP monitors and GET request for keyword monitors by default (and, this is a good default setting for most monitors). So, here comes the HTTP method selection which enables us to choose the method, send the parameters to be sent (if needed) and also decide if the data will be sent as JSON or not.
New Feature: Voice Call Notifications
There is never “too much” when it comes to the ways of getting notified about an emergency. And, in some cases, this emergency can be a website or server going down. Today, voice call notification is added to Uptime Robot and it can be very helpful when we want to make sure that a notification is heard :).
Need Only the Down or Up Notifications? You are Covered!
Uptime Robot sends notifications for down and up notifications by default for each alert contact type. However, there can be cases where you may only need the down or up notifications.
2x SMS Messages for the Same Price
Uptime Robot supports multiple methods to get notified about downtimes on mobile (SMS, push notifications via the mobile app, Pushbullet, Pushover or Boxcar). And, SMS is one of the most reliable notification methods specially when no data plan exists.
New Feature - Microsoft Teams Integration
Getting the notifications inside the team communication app you use can make things easy as this may be where you’ll be discussing how to make that website/server back online.
Bulk Actions Get Better!
In case you haven’t seen or used it, there is a “Bulk Actions link” just under the “Add Monitor button” in the left sidebar. It simply opens the “Bulk Actions dialog” and presents a set of actions that can be applied to monitors in bulk. This feature is now more powerful with a few important additions.
New Feature - Telegram Integration
Uptime Robot offers multiple ways to get notified of downtime. And, here comes another exciting one. Thanks to its bot framework and API support, it is now possible to get down/up/SSL notifications via Telegram messaging app.
Introducing "SSL Monitoring"
A website with an SSL certificate requires an extra layer of monitoring, “making sure the SSL works as expected”, as a certificate can expire or produce errors (host mismatch, use insecure protocols like SSLv3..). The Pro Plan now monitors such cases.
