About Uptrends
Synthetic monitoring built for people who script their checks, not click them.
Uptrends is a synthetic and digital experience monitoring service, and its recent releases cluster around multi-step API monitoring: bearer token authentication per API call, JWT encode and decode functions for signing and reading tokens, and a 30-second check interval for new Enterprise accounts. Around that sit account and workflow improvements — duplicable custom integrations, maintenance-period filtering by schedule attributes, SSL certificate monitors gaining the same HTTP and TLS version options as HTTPS monitors, and automatic SSO redirect at login. The August entry is a support-matrix change rather than a feature: Windows Server 2019 is no longer offered for new private location installations.
