pingport v1.10 — Browser Companion & Improvements

New experimental feature, improved website overview, and bugfixes for a cleaner overview.

New Feature

• PingPort Browser Companion (experimental): Monitoring data and quick actions directly in the browser — no tab-switching to pingport
• Overlay on recognized websites shows health score, uptime status, open alerts and todos at a glance
• Quick actions from the browser: create todos, add notes, start maintenance — all without opening the app

Improvements

• Monitoring Grace Period: New websites get a configurable warm-up phase — monitoring runs, but email notifications are suppressed until it ends
• Extended filters on the website overview for faster finding and sorting
• Improved pagination: page selection, configurable entries per page and result count display

Bugfixes

• Dashboard lists (issues, todos, activity) now limited to a maximum number of entries for a cleaner overview

pingport v1.03 — Maintenance Windows

Planned maintenance without false alarms: Define time windows per website where alerts are suppressed or monitoring is paused entirely.

• Maintenance windows per website with start, end, and optional recurrence (daily, weekly, monthly)
• Two modes: suppress alerts (monitoring continues) or pause monitoring entirely (no checks, clean uptime stats)
• Quick-start button for spontaneous maintenance — click, pick a duration (30 min, 1h, 2h, 4h), done
• Dashboard integration: yellow card shows all websites in active maintenance
• Maintenance periods are visually highlighted in the response time chart
• Portfolio Digest: Weekly or monthly email summary with uptime, health score, expiring certificates and open alerts

pingport v1.02 — Health Score & Slow Response Alerting

Two new features: The pingport Health Score shows you at a glance how each website is doing. And with Slow Response Alerting, you get warned before slow response times become a problem.

• Health Score (0–100) per website — weighted combination of uptime, SSL, domain, response time, alerts and monitoring status
• Color-coded score display (green/yellow/red) on website overview and detail page with breakdown
• Slow Response Alerting: email notification when websites respond slowly repeatedly
• Configurable threshold (default: 3000ms) and number of consecutive slow checks (2/3/5)
• Automatic all-clear when response times normalize — including recovery email
• Threshold line in the response time chart on the uptime page
