What's new in StatusOwl

Leaner platform, faster alerts

We retired a couple of legacy AWS services to simplify the stack and shorten the path between a failed check and your inbox.

• ImprovedAlert delivery latency reduced — check failures now reach email, Slack, and Discord 30–40% faster on average.
• ImprovedDashboard activity feed now streams directly from the API with fewer round-trips.
• RemovedSunset the legacy WebSocket gateway. Existing integrations continue to work via the REST API and webhooks.

Public status page refresh

Your public status page gets a visual overhaul with better performance on slow connections and stronger accessibility.

• NewLight and dark mode toggle on public status pages, with automatic system-preference detection.
• NewIncident subscriber list now exportable to CSV.
• ImprovedStatus page first-paint is ~45% faster thanks to aggressive caching of historical uptime data.
• FixedCustom domain verification no longer requires a manual refresh after DNS propagation.

Better Auth migration

Session handling is now powered by Better Auth — a smoother login experience and groundwork for SSO on the Pro plan.

• NewSession management page under Account Settings lets you revoke devices individually.
• ImprovedOrganization switcher remembers your last-used org per browser.
• SecuritySession cookies are now signed with HMAC and validated on every API request.

SSL & domain monitoring, generally available

• NewSSL certificate expiry monitoring with configurable warning thresholds (7, 14, 30, 60 days).
• NewDomain registration expiry monitoring via WHOIS lookups on a daily cadence.
• NewUnified certificate & domain summary view on the Monitors page.
• ImprovedHTTP monitor now surfaces TLS handshake time as a separate metric alongside total response time.

Audit logs and role-based access

• NewOrganization audit logs track every monitor and setting change, with actor and timestamp.
• NewViewer, Member, Admin, and Owner roles with granular permissions.
• ImprovedTeam invitation flow — invitees can now preview the organization before accepting.
• FixedTimezone detection on the incident history page for users outside UTC.
