Some of our users have received reports that their AddTrust External CA Root certificate is about to expire in less than 14 days. Here's how you can fix that.
The Oh Dear blog
We love to share! Through our blog, we'll provide more details about upcoming features, interesting ideas we have and share more insights into our current setup.
Because of our unique way of monitoring SSL/TLS certificates, we uncovered an issue at a large commercial CDN provider. In this post, we'll deep-dive into how we detected this.
We've introduced two very cool new features to Oh Dear: the ability to temporarily silence alerts and advanced Slack notifications.
We've added the ability to see detailed webhook logs, showing both the sent request and the received response.
We've added the ability to disable the team-level notification settings on a per-site basis.
We're adding an extra layer of notifications to Oh Dear: we're now able to send you postcards when your sites are offline.
You can now configure custom thresholds for when you want to receive notifications about expiring certificates.
We added a series of improvements to our notifications settings, making it easier for you to control where your alerts are sent.
Yesterday, we sent out notifications to all our clients that are affected by the Let's Encrypt mass revocation of SSL certificates. In this post, we'll share the details how we found those certificates.
Let's Encrypt will perform a mass-revocation of certificates tomorrow, all our affected clients have been informed.
To celebrate our newly launched redesign, we want to give away a free year of monitoring to one lucky winner!
We're super proud to show the new "us" - a brand new logo, updated styles and an entirely new website. In this post, we'll show you all the changes!
We've just released a new feature: maintenance windows! You can place your site in maintenance which will mute all notifications during that period.
In the next releases of Google's Chrome browser it will take a more defensive role in protecting users from mixed content.
We recently launched our new Status Page feature. Under the hood, it's using the Caddy proxy server and Laravel's subdomain routing to serve the right status page on the right domain.
We're proud to introduce a new major feature to all our Oh Dear users: Status Pages!
We're excited to announce that we've shipped some nice improvements to our broken links & mixed content checks. These checks both make use of the crawler that powers those features.
You can use our API to easily trigger an uptime and broken links check. If you add this to your deploy script, it can find broken links within minutes after your deploy.
We've added a setting that allows you to choose if we should crawl all internal URLs or the external URLs too.
Next to our standard uptime monitoring through GET requests, we've added support for POST, PUT & PATCH methods too.
We're proud to have been listed on Google's 1 year anniversary post about the launch of the .APP top level domain.
Oh Dear! can crawl your sites twice a day. With some custom headers, you can let our crawls fetch new content from your servers and keep your Varnish cache warm for other users.
We've added the ability to show a "friendly name" for your sites, instead of the domain and the URL associated with it.
We've added a new section to our site that allows you to test all of the Oh Dear! functionality without creating an account.
We've added custom billing field that determine where your invoices will be sent to.
We reached out to one of our earliest customers, Marbles, to ask why they decided to move from Pingdom and use our service instead.
Tideways has integrated Oh Dear! in its profiler to easily correlate downtime events with your application exceptions and performance.
We've added additional servers to improve our monitoring for our Australian customers.
We're releasing our Gitlab CI configuration that anyone can use to automate their automated testing workflow for Laravel applications.
We made the move from a nodejs-powered websocket server to a full PHP implementation.
We launched a redesigned homepage and quite a few tweaks to the overall look & feel of Oh Dear!. In this post we'll highlight some of those changes.
On the most important sales day of the year, you want your site to be online. Therefore, our service is twice as valuable.
Today we released our free tool for Nova applications. It allows you to display the results of our checks in your own admin interace.
We've launched a cool feature for our users on the Laravel Forge platform: automatic monitoring of any of your sites and servers managed through Laravel Forge!
We share details on how we have set up our Laravel queues, how we determined our worker counts and which queues we use.
The first blogpost on the Oh Dear! blog: we're excited to share more about our internals!
