Uptime Calendar, monitoring improvements and much more!

In this release we deliver one huge new feature: Uptime Calendar, together with a few improvements on monitoring, subscriptions management, security and three new integrations: Livewatch, Esendex SMS and Ekara by IPlabel.

🗓 Uptime Calendar

It's now possible to display an Uptime Calendar in your status page, that will enable you to communicate your history of incidents and maintenance.

It'll allow you as well to display your planned maintenances within the next months so your customers can have a clear view and plan accordingly.

⚙️ Custom HTTP method in monitoring checks

In the past all our StatusPal monitored services have been using HTTP HEAD method when performing the periodical checks, this is now configurable, you can pick any HTTP method for your monitored service, such as GET, POST, DELETE, etc.

This is only one next step towards our ambitious plans to provide you with a more powerful monitoring service.

🇪🇺 Europe based servers

In case you missed it, we're now offering EU based hosting for your status pages, you can now pick your desired region of hosting when signing up.

🔎 Subscriptions search in Admin site

Your subscribers are one of your most valuable assets when it comes to incident communication, and being able to filter and find the ones you might need at any given time is a must, that's why we're introducing an advanced filter panel in the Subscription tab of your admin site.

🔐 Password policy improvements

It was brought to our attention that our password policies were not strict enough, so we went ahead and improved them, increasing security for our customers.

The new policies require passwords of customers signing up to contain at least a number, upper-case and lower-case letters and a special character, as well as not to contain the user name.
