Infrastructure monitoring, interactive Slack alerts and more

It's the last changelog of the year 2023! We're proud to introduce the infrastructure monitoring beta to the public! After testing for some time with an invite-only preview, we're so happy to finally open it up.

What's next? Well, we're working on a completely new alerting system that's more flexible and will support escalation policies.

Infrastructure monitoring

Infrastructure monitoring, host monitoring, server monitoring... it's whatever you want to call it! We went for infrastructure monitoring since monitoring hosts (a host can be a server) isn't where we're stopping.

With infrastructure monitoring, you can easily install our own agent (which is open-source!) on your system and you're ready to go. You will be able to monitor detailed metrics on the load average, CPU, memory, swap, disk usage, network, and much more. In detail. And more metrics are coming soon.
