Phare

European flag merged with the so good meme

The pure bliss of running on 100% European 🇪🇺 infrastructure is that nobody notices when you go down, but you can still brag about being up when everyone else is affected by the Cloudflare outage.

🤯 New in Phare: Incident AI

Incidents now come with AI-generated summaries and post-mortems, automatically giving you a clear overview of what happened, no manual write-ups required.

Powered by Mistral’s Magistral Small model, and it’s already available on all plans!

As usual, full details can be found in the documentation

When combined with the recent release of thread notification, this makes incident tracking a lot clearer and less noisy.

If you already have a Phare account, visit your project settings to activate this feature, and configure the two new alert rules.

🧠 Smart Incident Merging is here

Reduce alert noise with Smart Incident Merging. Similar incidents are automatically grouped together within a configurable time window, helping you stay focused without drowning in duplicate notifications.

You can now send incident alerts straight to your Ntfy application.

The integration supports custom server hostnames, topic-based alerts, and access token authentication, and it works with all existing alert events from day one.

🧵 New in Phare: Slack threads for incident alerts

It took a bit longer to roll this out, Slack’s validation process is… thorough 😅

🧵 New in Phare: Discord threads for incident alerts

All incident notifications for the same incident now land in a dedicated Discord thread, keeping your main channels clear and easy to follow.

🚀 New in Phare: POST, PUT & PATCH monitoring

You can now create HTTP(S) monitors using POST, PUT, or PATCH methods, and include a request body with the content-type of your choice.

👉 Perfect for monitoring APIs and webhooks that require a specific method and payload.

Internet guerilla marketing 🦹‍♂️

If you did not hear about @kilopx.com check it out, it's such a cool project 🫶

🌟 Incident timeline got a summer glow-up

- Monitor & incident changes are now logged right in the timeline

🚨 Incident reports just got a major upgrade

The information available in incident reports has been extended to includes:

It was too much information for a single screenshot 🙈

Time to assert dominance on your monitors 👑

Create multiple assertions with different operators. More control. Fewer false positives.

🚨 New Alert Rule: Monitor Certificate Expiring
