Public Dashboards & Incident Management

 

New

  

You can now start using our brand new Public Dashboard with integrated Incident Management. Here's an example from our customer urlscan.io 👇

Just flip the switch in our new Labs section and of you go. Here are the highlights:

  • Fresh, responsive design with longer data ranges.

  • Report minor / major incidents and planned maintenance with a full incident history.

  • Built with Nuxt, hosted on Vercel's global CDN for speedy loading around the globe.

For further reading check out this blog post on the how and why we built this and visit our docs for reference info.

Get to failing checks quickly with Firewatch

 

New

  

You can now use Firewatch to get a quick overview of recent failing checks, regardless of how they are sorted on your dashboard or if they are nested in groups.

CleanShot 2022-11-29 at 20.38.35@2x.png

Firewatch enables you to:

  • Directly re-run one of the failing checks.
  • Directly re-run all of the failing checks.

We also allow you to configure a time-based threshold to only show checks in Firewatch that have been failing for, let's say, 3 days. This is handy as you might have some intentionally failing checks.

New Checkly Agent V1.1.0

 

New

  

We just released a new version of Checkly Agent to run on your Private Locations. This version includes all the latest bug fixes and feature updates from the last quarter. Among others:

  • TLS Client Certificates.
  • Early @playwright/test support*.
  • Regular upstream patches and fixes.

*Note that this early @playwright/test support is without traces and videos and running @playwright/test version 1.20.2. We are working hard to bring you the latest version (plus a lot of other goodies) to our public infra and Private Locations.

TLS Client Certificates for API checks

 

New

  

You can now uses TLS Client Certificates with API checks for mTLS (mutual TLS) enabled Zero Trust Networks. Just add your domain, PEM formatted certificate & key pair and Checkly will add it to any API checks that match that domain.

Read more on why you would use this in our blog post or dive straight into docs for tall the details.

This feature is now enabled for all Enterprise customers. If you are using private locations, make sure to upgrade to our latest Checkly Agent v1.1.0 to use this in your K8S, VPC or on-prem networks.

GitHub Sync goes GA

 

New

  

This is the last day of our launch week! Today GitHub Sync goes into General Availability (GA). GitHub Sync allows you to sync your Playwright based Browser Check code directly from any public or private GitHub repo. This enables:

  • Syncing on commit or on a deployment webhook
  • Including local file dependencies in your checks.

Even cooler, we extended our editor to show you exactly what files you synced and what runtime they are running against.

Announcing support for @playwright/test

 

New

  

Next up in our launch week is support for @playwright/test, available now in public beta to all users. Just switch to runtime 2022.02 and use Playwright's native test runner like this 👇

const { test, expect } = require('@playwright/test');

test('homepage has Checkly in title', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('https://www.checklyhq.com/');
  await expect(page).toHaveTitle(/Checkly/);
});

This gives you:

  • Automatic tracing, to ease debugging stubborn checks.
  • automatic video recording of the full check runs.
  • Web first assertions like await expect(item).toBeVisible()

…and much more.

Read more in our blog post about how @playwright/test can help you write better synthetic monitoring checks.

Looking forward to your feedback!
