For the first time, all changes were finished before late at night on Sunday, and one of the most anticipated feature is here: members management!

Members management

It is now possible to invite your colleagues to your MinKit organization, all accounts have unlimited numbers, the more, the merrier.

You can easily assign members to projects, and choose who has access to a project on creation.

For now all members can perform every possible action in the scope of their respective project. More granular role management will come later.

Improved billing

Billing is not active on MinKit during the private beta, giving time to make sure everything is simple and work as expected. Wording around plans, billing, and quotas have been reviewed and changed to make things easier to understand. The offer is also simplified with a limited free (Hobby) plan, and a single paid (Scale) plan. The paid plan, as the name suggest, grow with your organization needs thanks to additional quotas that can be configured.

A detailed pricing calculator is now available on a new pricing page.

The billing page present a fresh look with more detailed information on included and additional usage for all products:

A lot of features to unpack for this second week of private beta, let's dive right ahead.

Discord integration

Discord is now an available integration, it can already be used for all types of alerts, and be configured to specific project and environments like the existing Slack and Email integration.

Incident management

Monitors now automatically create and resolve incidents, this behavior can be configured in each monitor's settings with two new parameters.

• Incident confirmations: number of failing checks required before creating an incident.
• Recovery confirmations: number of successful checks required before resolving an incident.

All incidents are shown in the incidents section of MinUptime, you can quickly see their status and act accordingly.

To help you fix the situation, a timeline of events linked to an incident is show on the incident's page.

New alert rules

Two new rules have been added with the introduction of incident management, one that trigger when a new incident is created and one when an incident has recovered.

Theses two new rules replace the former Monitor status changed rule that longer exists. All user's default alert policy rules have been updated to reflect this change.

Improved environment design

Environments default colors have been updated to more neutral tones. The overall display of environments in all screen has been updated to be more consistent with the use of the same icon everywhere.
