Beacon

FEATURES

Everything you need to communicate status

From monitoring to incidents to public pages — one platform, zero duct tape.

Monitors that create their own incidents

HTTP checks and heartbeats running on configurable intervals. When failures exceed your threshold, an incident is auto-created, subscribers notified, and linked components degraded. When the monitor recovers, everything auto-resolves.

  • HTTP & heartbeat monitors
  • Configurable thresholds
  • Auto-create & auto-resolve incidents
  • Component status cascading
  • Free: 3 monitors / Pro: unlimited

Beautiful public pages, zero effort

Every status page gets a public URL, custom domain support, timezone settings, and a clean dark UI. Toggle pages public/private with one click.

  • Public URL per page
  • Custom domains with DNS verification
  • Timezone support
  • Public/private toggle
  • Subscriber email flows

Incident communication that keeps pace

Create incidents from the UI or API. Track impact, state changes, and timeline updates. Team gets notified. Subscribers get emails. Webhooks fire.

  • 4 impact levels (none / minor / major / critical)
  • State tracking (investigating → resolved)
  • Timeline updates
  • Team + subscriber + webhook notifications
Webhook delivery delays Major
