Secure Vault

We’re excited to introduce Secure Vault, a major upgrade to Uptime.com’s platform that enhances how you manage and protect your test credentials. With Secure Vault, you can securely encrypt and store your credentials in a centralized location. This feature allows you to easily manage and reuse them across multiple tests. Secure Vault also supports advanced authentication methods like client certificates and tokens, giving you greater flexibility and peace of mind.

Key Benefits:

• Centralized Credential Management: Store and manage credentials, client certificates, and API keys in one secure location. This ensures consistency and security across all your tests.
• Advanced Authentication Methods: Enjoy support for client certificates and token-based authentication for API and synthetic test configurations.
• Secure Storage and Access: Credentials are encrypted upon entry and securely stored using a zero-trust architecture. Enhanced RBAC controls are coming soon.
• Parameter Storage: Safely store and manage user credentials, passwords, tokens, certificates, and more.
• User-Friendly Interface: Easily manage your stored credentials, parameters, and certificates. Customize user access as needed.

Secure Vault reflects our dedication to top-tier security and customer-driven innovations.

Status Page Enhancements

We’re excited to announce a new feature for Status Page Admins that gives you enhanced control over who can subscribe to your status page. You can now configure allowed and blocked email domains directly via our API. This feature extends the existing Statuspage API with endpoints to create, read, update, and delete domain lists.

With support for both Allowlist and Blocklist modes, you decide whether to permit only specific domains or block certain ones while allowing all others to subscribe. The API makes managing these lists simple, enabling admins to add, remove, and retrieve domains with clear success or failure messages for each operation.

By default, if you don’t configure any list, all domains will be permitted to subscribe, and the API will notify you of this setting. This new functionality provides more control over your status page subscriptions, ensuring only the desired audience receives updates. For detailed instructions, click the button below.

Configuring Microsoft Teams

Microsoft is making significant changes to how content from third parties is delivered to Microsoft Teams channels. They are retiring the current Office 365 Connectors and introducing a new solution called “Workflows.”

This transition will happen in two phases. Starting August 15th, 2024, creating new Connectors will be blocked across all clouds. Then, by October 1st, 2024, all existing Connectors will stop functioning.

To adapt to these changes, we need to update our current implementation of MS Teams integration from using Office 365 Connectors to the new Workflows solution. For support and detailed configuration steps, please click the button below.
