Terraform for alert routes
April 8, 2025
We now support alert routes in Terraform and our public API. This is useful if you:
- Want to use version control to manage changes to your alert route configuration
- Have a set of similar alert routes you’d like to generate configuration using a template
- Want to control a coordinated place that all your alert sources route alerts to
- Want to apply complex access controls
New nudge: escalate
We've added a new nudge type 'escalate' which will suggest that someone escalates or asks for help in Slack. For example, this can be used if there is a major incident with only one active participant.
What else we’ve shipped
Improvements
- We've polished up our Status Pages with a sharper and more consistent feel
- If you can't request cover for any reason on mobile, we'll now show you clearer error messages
- Improved UI for private Slack channels being used in alert routes
- Scrolling escalation paths is now smoother
- We now load more days of your on-call schedule on the mobile calendar view, so swiping between days should feel a little faster
Bug fixes
- Addressed an issue where the top card on mobile will grow too big if there are lots of users on-call on the first level of an escalation policy
- Fixed an issue on mobile where dragging on one of your own on-call shifts was defaulting to creating an override rather than a cover request
- Fixed an issue where we we might not send an "alert resolved" message to Slack in some circumstances
- Editing status page impacts no longer causes manually-set sub-pages to be recalculated
