Updates from April 2026

Incident rules

A new per-type incident catalog with a Settings page. Every check kind (uptime / SSL / DNS / headers / robots / domain) gets its own rule set: when does a sample become an open incident, how long until it closes, what counts as a flap.

• Rule-aware ingest — workers route through apply_to_monitor so changes take effect on the next probe.
• Retroactive recompute — change a threshold, the system re-evaluates recent history without re-running probes.

Project-first redesign

The first slice of a project-first redesign (inspired by Oh Dear) lands today:

• Bundles backfill into proper projects under the hood — no migration on your end.
• New Add Project flow at /projects/new with an in-page plan-limit banner instead of a hard redirect.
• Project overview with an Active / Disabled card grid.

Polish

• Sidebar collapses by default, project actions menu (kebab) with cascade-delete confirmation.
• Breadcrumbs with full clickable path on every page.
• Header horizon: status-driven colour with a subtle ambient sweep — at-a-glance whether everything's green.
• App-shell layout fixes — sticky sidebar, header inside the content column, borders all line up now.

Big day for the dashboard.

Live by default

The Overview now refreshes itself in the background — one update touches every tile (KPIs, activity feed, incidents breakdown). No more F5.

Projects

A first-class Projects concept: group monitors by what they're protecting (a website, a SaaS, a customer environment). New CRUD page, project-scoped detail view, sidebar surface, and a project picker on the monitor-create form.

Monitor bundles

One URL → multiple checks → one tile. Bundle uptime + SSL + headers for the same domain into a single dashboard card so the noise stays low.

Multi-workspace

• Plan-based caps on monitors / workspaces / channels — enforced at create time, surfaced as in-page banners (not redirects).
• Workspace creation flow + a sidebar switcher so you can hop between accounts without logging out.

Smaller wins

• /monitors/new redesigned with category-grouped chips + collapsible advanced section.
• Sidebar groups are now collapsible.
• Auto-dismiss toasts, per-check timeline, window dropdown on detail pages.
• New Incidents overview page + checks/incidents tab on monitor detail.

• Per-check latency captured for headers / links / robots workers — surfaces in the monitor detail timeline.
• Type-aware status labels — security-header issues now read FAIL, expired SSL reads EXPIRED, etc., instead of a generic "down".
• Nightly aggregation job rolls raw samples into daily rows + prunes anything beyond your plan's retention window. Database stays small even on long histories.
• One-command deploy spec for app.greyout.io — push to main and the new revision rolls out automatically.
• Realtime heartbeat sync — incidents reflect on the dashboard within seconds, not on the next polling tick.
• Sessions now live 6h sliding + 30 days remember-me. Less re-login friction.

Six checker types are now running end-to-end:

• HTTP uptime — periodic GET with status + latency capture
• SSL certificate expiry watch
• Domain expiry watch
• DNS record drift detection
• Security headers audit
• Open-port scan
• robots.txt / sitemap.xml diff watcher

Each runs on the standalone scheduler runner so the web app stays light.

Other shipping today

• Monitor create / delete UI — the dashboard has a left-rail sidebar with module breakdown.
• Ingestion endpoints under /api/v1/ingest/* so external probes can post results in.
• Settings → Ingestion tokens page + a CLI for headless rotation.
• Workers host deploy — reverse proxy + container setup for a separate machine that runs the realtime probe stack.

First commit. greyout is a unified monitoring SaaS — one place to track uptime, SSL, DNS, domain expiry, security headers, and scheduled-job heartbeats for every project you ship.

The bones land first: database schema, workspace model, plan tiers, and the application scaffolding everything will hang off in the coming weeks.

More to follow daily.
