Fewer alert storms: flapping detection and cooldown

A monitor that flips between up and down no longer produces one email per flip. The incident engine recognises the pattern and holds back.

• Flapping detection tuned for monitors on long check intervals
• Cooldown between repeated notifications for the same incident
• Incidents track episodes and reopen, instead of a new record on every flip
• Scheduling backoff for synthetic scenarios that keep failing

Synthetic monitoring

Multi-step browser scenarios that walk a real user path: sign in, add to cart, reach checkout. A page that returns 200 while the cart is broken is now catchable.

• Scenarios authored as guided steps or as Playwright scripts
• Import from Playwright codegen, including bulk import of several files at once
• Step-by-step waterfall with a screenshot captured per step
• AI scenario generation from a URL, and AI diagnosis of a failed run
• Runs from the monitoring locations, with their own incidents and notifications

Synthetic monitoring

White-label weekly reports

The weekly uptime report is now an artefact you can hand a client with your own logo on it.

• Your logo and colours on the report, with optional removal of PingView attribution
• PDF with charts, incident list and a per-monitor breakdown
• Trends and insights section with recommendations
• A test send produces exactly the same report as the scheduled run

Log collector agent

An agent that ships server and application logs to PingView, so an incident can be read next to the log lines around it.

• Agent installed on the host and paired from the app
• File watchers with parsers for common log formats
• Log search and filtering in the app
• Alert rules on log patterns

Real User Monitoring

Field data from actual visitors, alongside the synthetic checks: what your users experienced, not what a probe measured.

• One embed script per site
• Core Web Vitals from real sessions, with attribution naming the element responsible
• JavaScript errors captured together with a snapshot of the page
• Session list with filtering
• Sites linked to their monitors and synthetic scenarios

Real User Monitoring

Visual checks

Scheduled screenshots compared against a baseline, so a layout that silently breaks is caught before the client notices it.

• Screenshots on a schedule, per device and viewport
• Baselines created automatically, with pixel comparison against them
• Mask regions to ignore banners, ads and other moving content
• Review queue: approve a change as the new baseline, or open it as a problem
• Side-by-side and slider comparison, with dedicated visual-change incidents

Visual checks

Site discovery crawl

Point PingView at a domain and it crawls the site to work out what is worth monitoring, instead of you listing URLs by hand.

• Sitemap parsing, including nested sitemap indexes
• Crawl that classifies pages by role, so checkout and sign-in are not treated as blog posts
• Findings list with suggested monitors and synthetic scenarios
• Preflight resource check before a crawl runs

Muting notifications per monitor

Suppress a monitor’s notifications without pausing the monitor itself, for planned maintenance or a known issue.

• Mute toggle in Alert Settings, scoped to a single monitor
• Muted badge on the monitor list and detail page
• Checks keep running while muted; only alerts are suppressed
• Banner on the monitor page so a mute is never forgotten

External provider status tracking

Track the status of the third-party services your stack depends on, so a cloud provider outage is visible before your clients report it.

• Status tracking for widely used cloud and SaaS providers
• Incident history per provider on a timeline
• Providers grouped by category, with search and filtering
• Request form for providers that are not covered yet
• A public page per provider with its current status and history

Certificate and domain expiry dashboard

One view of every SSL certificate and domain you monitor, sorted by how soon it expires.

• Single dashboard for all certificates and domains
• Days-remaining countdown per entry
• Searchable, paginated tables for large portfolios
• Direct links to the registrar and the certificate authority
• Alerts ahead of each expiry date

Status page components rebuilt

New uptime, response time and incident components on public status pages, so the page a client opens reads clearly during an outage.

• 90-day uptime heatmap on the page header
• Response time charts that mark incident windows
• 24-hour timeline with correct handling of sparse data
• Error states that say what went wrong, not just that something did
• Theme switcher on public status pages
• No-data states that explain why a chart is empty

Polish landing pages and FAQ

Polish translations across the marketing pages, plus FAQ sections for domain and SSL monitoring.

• Full Polish version of the landing pages
• FAQ sections for domain and SSL monitoring
• Free tier limits stated explicitly
• Provider status descriptions and categories rewritten

Data export, anomaly detection and trends

Export raw monitoring data, and get flagged when latency or uptime departs from a monitor’s own baseline.

• One-click export to CSV, Excel and JSON
• Anomaly detection for latency and uptime with no configuration
• Trend direction stated in plain language, not just a chart
• Baselines computed per monitor rather than from a fixed threshold
• Trend indicators drawn onto the monitoring charts

Team-scoped URLs

Every dashboard and report URL now carries its team, so a link you paste opens on the same team for whoever receives it.

• Team context encoded in the URL
• Shareable direct links to team dashboards and reports
• Switching teams keeps you on the page you were reading
• Fewer redirects on navigation, so pages settle faster

Performance and security scanning

Scheduled audits of page performance and HTTP security configuration, run from several regions.

• Automated audits for performance, accessibility and SEO
• Analysis of security headers and TLS configuration
• Server response time measured separately from page load
• Scans run from multiple regions
• Findings scored and ordered by what to fix first
• History per scan so regressions are visible

Chart localization fixes

Chart labels, axes and tooltips now follow the selected language instead of falling back to English.

• Chart labels, axes and tooltips localized
• Wider translation coverage across the app

Availability calculation and monitoring coverage

Uptime now measures service health only. Gaps where PingView itself did not check are reported separately instead of counting as downtime.

• Availability reflects failed checks, not missing ones
• New "monitoring coverage" metric for data completeness
• Correct figures for monitors created mid-period
• Warning when coverage drops low enough to distort the number

Audit log

A record of who changed what and when, across monitors, teams, incidents and maintenance windows.

• Monitor changes: create, update, pause, delete
• Team activity: invitations, role changes, settings
• Incident lifecycle with status history
• Maintenance window activity
• Search by user, action and time range
• Long-term retention for compliance reviews

Reports: SLA tracking and exports

Reports covering SLA compliance, availability and incidents, exportable as PDF, CSV or HTML.

• SLA compliance tracking per monitor
• PDF export with charts
• CSV and HTML report formats
• Availability heatmaps and latency trends
• Incident summaries with duration and impact
• Preview before a report is generated

Interface performance and mobile layout

Faster page loads and a mobile layout that holds up on a phone during an on-call check.

• Loading skeletons instead of layout jumps
• Mobile layouts reworked across all pages
• Error messages that name the problem and the next step
• Smaller API payloads, so pages settle sooner
• Chart tooltips show the exact timestamp of the sample
• Denser controls, less scrolling per screen

Maintenance windows and admin panel

Scheduled maintenance windows that suppress alerts, plus an admin interface for teams, monitors and incidents.

• Maintenance windows scheduled per monitor
• Admin panel for users and teams
• Manual incident creation and updates
• Monitor search and pagination
• Beta features labelled as such in the navigation
• Stricter access validation on admin routes

English and Polish across the app

Full internationalization, including localized status pages and per-language metadata.

• English and Polish throughout the app
• Language switching that keeps you on the same page
• Localized public status pages
• Per-language URLs and metadata for search engines

• Custom webhooks
• Microsoft Teams integration
• HTML email templates
• Send a test notification per channel
• International phone number validation

Monitoring charts

Reworked monitoring charts with interactive tooltips and clearer latency thresholds.
