A live Logs tab, cleaner team changes, and fairer delivery.
TestFlight build 38 is out, and pingtower.com is running the server it pairs with. Most of what changed is things you’ll notice; a fair share of it is things you shouldn’t have to.
Logs, first
The app now opens on a Logs tab: every project’s live tail side by side, merged newest first. Filter by project, minimum level, or — with one project in scope — a single source, and the header tells you when you’re looking at “3 of 5 projects”. A tail that loses the network says “Reconnecting…” and backs off instead of giving up, and when you come back to it, it resumes from where it was rather than dropping the lines in between. Alerts are one tab over, and a notification still opens straight into the alert.
An alert’s detail also gains a Reported by section: every source behind it, with how often and when each one reported — the part that matters when a rule fires on several sources at once.
Changing the team
Removing a teammate now always works, and it cleans up after them: they come off on-call rotations, escalation ladders and live overrides, and the webhooks, integrations and actions they created — or last pointed somewhere new — are switched off. The app shows you what changed, so you can fix coverage in one pass. Removing an owner asks for your password first.
Changing your password signs out your other sessions and retires the API keys they minted, but it no longer unpairs your phone: the app replaces its own key and carries on.
Delivery that stays fair
Every team’s deliveries now drain side by side with a time budget each, so one team’s slow webhook receivers can’t stretch everyone else’s page cadence. The same idea applies to probe checks that share a target host, and sign-in limits are now kept per client, so someone else’s failed attempts can’t lock you out of your own account.
The numbers behind all of this — rules per project, integrations, keys, field sizes — now live in one place: Limits.
For self-hosters
New signed box binaries are on Get started, and the
addons agent 0.3.2 is out. If your box sits behind a reverse
proxy, set -client-ip-header so per-client limits see real addresses;
the proxy guide has the
Caddy and nginx lines. -secret-key now also seals webhook signing secrets
and the relay credential — read the
one-way warning before you set it.
Also in this release
A round of security fixes from an internal review, in the server, the app and the addons agent. Nothing to do on your side beyond updating; we’re keeping the details out of a blog post.
Names with spaces, slashes or accents now save and delete correctly from the app.
