Phare Uptime allows you to receive real-time notifications when specific events occur, such as monitor failures, SSL certificate issues, or incident updates. The system is built around flexible, scoped alert rules.

​
Alert Rules

An alert rule defines:

  • Event: The event that triggers the alert (e.g., incident created, certificate expiring).
  • Scope: Whether the rule applies organization-wide or within a specific project.
  • Rate limit: Prevents spamming your team members with notifications.
  • Alert integration: Which integration to use for sending notifications (e.g., email, Slack, Discord).

​
Event

The event specifies what action or occurrence will trigger the alert. Phare Uptime supports a variety of events, including:

  • Monitor created
  • Monitor deleted
  • Monitor certificate updated
  • Monitor certificate expiring
  • Incident created
  • Incident recovered
  • Incident comment created
  • Incident update published

​
Scope

You can choose the scope of each alert rule:

  • Organization: The rule applies to all matching events in the organization.
  • Project: The rule applies only to events that occur within a specific project.

This scoped system provides both flexibility and clarity, ensuring alerts are relevant to the right context.

​
Rate Limiting

To prevent notification overload, alert rules support rate limiting. This allows you to restrict how often an alert rule will send a notification in a given time frame. For example, you can set a rule to notify you only once every 10 minutes, even if the triggering event occurs multiple times within that period.

​
Notification Channels

Any alert rule integration can be used to send notifications. You can create an unlimited number of alert rules for each integration, allowing you to customize how and when you receive notifications.
