In this version, we’re releasing a few new features, most of which have been highly requested by our users.
Here’s the full changelog:
- The optional keyword that our system looks for on your website, can now accept multiple words and special characters, allowing you to monitor more complex keywords, as opposed to before when this was limited to just one alphanumeric word. You can configure this in your Uptime Monitor settings:
- You can now save private notes for each of your Uptime Monitors, which will make life so much easier when organizing and keeping track of everything that you’re monitoring.
For more info, please see our documentation: https://docs.hetrixtools.com/add-private-notes-to-your-uptime-monitors/
- You can now use some Markdown text formatting in your Public Status Page announcements, which will make it a lot easier to create a structure to the news or events that you are posting for your users. For more info, please read the following: https://docs.hetrixtools.com/markdown/
- The ‘API Key’ interface has been redesigned and it is now allowing you to have multiple API Keys in your account. This will be very useful if you wish to assign different API Keys to your applications, and with each API Key having its own counter you can easily see where your monthly API Calls are used the most.

- API Keys can now have configurable access levels, giving you the option to allow an API Key to have access to only a few selected API Calls.
For more info, please see: https://docs.hetrixtools.com/api-keys-access/ - Sub-accounts ‘API’ access level has been split into two: ‘API View’ and ‘API Edit’, in order to better fit the new API Keys management system. You can check out the sub-accounts access levels in our documentation: https://docs.hetrixtools.com/sub-accounts-access-levels/
- Renamed ‘Downtime Diagnostics’ as ‘Network Diagnostics’, which is a better suited name for this feature. The name has been changed both in our platform and in our documentation articles. For more inf on this feature, please read: https://docs.hetrixtools.com/network-diagnostics/
- If you’ll ever need to have our platform send your billing related emails to a different email address, we’ve written a documentation article on how you can accomplish this: https://docs.hetrixtools.com/how-to-receive-billing-emails-on-a-different-address/
- Improved the ‘Service Monitoring’ feature of our linux Server Monitoring Agent. The agent will now try to use ‘systemctl’ (if available on the system) to determine if the monitored services are up or down. See the exact changes on GitHub: https://github.com/hetrixtools/agent/commit/fc19ad8c5bd9bb32d6a4fb5c110eb2f35c1551a2
