Monitor Cloning!
We're happy to announce monitor cloning, allowing you to easily copy an existing monitor. Monitor cloning can be initiated from the dashboard, monitor configuration screen, and the monitor configuration summary screen. Look for the Clone Monitor option under the Gear Icon. Once cloning is selected user will be taken to the configuration screen for the new monitor so they can modify the configuration prior to saving and enabling the new monitor.889Views3likes0CommentsPostman Collection Support

We've added custom properties to the available variables for editable alert templates. This allows you to easily add your metadata tags to alert payloads to make alert integrations even more powerful. You can add all properties with a single variable or include specific properties. Here's a quick look at how the new property variables are displayed in the alert template editor : You can read more about configuring custom properties HERE.875Views1like0CommentsFirefox 78
We're happy to announce that we have deployed Firefox 78 to the public monitoring network. This returns Firefox to the platform after a too-long absence. As with Chrome, we've added the ability to select browser versions, you can do this on the Advanced tab in monitor configuration. You'll have a choice of Default, Firefox 78, and Firefox 52. Please note that 52 runs a legacy version of DejaClick and should only be used by existing Firefox 52 monitors. Monitors created in the new Firefox version of DejaClick are not compatible with Firefox 52. Many legacy Firefox 52 can be converted to version 78, but your mileage will vary. Firefox 78 and Version Switching will be coming to Private Nodes in version 3.3, which will begin rollout in the 2nd half of January.856Views1like0CommentsNew REST APIs
