Changelog

Huge features to be introduced, including performance monitoring, user reports for status pages and the new London and New York City locations.

First of all, we're introducing two new locations to monitor from: London and New York.

Then, let's talk performance! We made some huge improvements on Spectate itself, and in order to monitor this, we used our new performance monitoring.

You can set a hard threshold, which when exceeded once will instantly trigger an alert, and a deviation threshold, which will compare the average performance of the last 15 minutes to the 2 hours before that and then send an alert. Useful, because this way you are notified of issues before your website might go offline 🥳!

Status pages also got a great new feature: User Reports. Before, when everything showed as operational, your users could only report issues via email. Now, they can easily click the report button, optionally select the component they experience issues with and submit the report!

You can set thresholds to send an alert if you, for example, receive 50 reports in 10 minutes. Your status page will automatically show a new status indicating there are unconfirmed issues and you can investigate.
