Phare Uptime

Phare is the unified reliability platform designed to simplify operational resilience for startups, agencies, and SMBs. By combining advanced uptime monitoring, efficient incident management, and transparent status pages into a single command center, Phare eliminates the hassle of switching between disparate tools and subscriptions. You gain immediate, precise visibility into your services, empowering your team to minimize downtime and keep your users informed during critical events.

Key Features

Phare provides the essential tools you need to ensure your online business remains resilient and running smoothly, 24/7.

🔎 Vigilant Uptime and Performance Monitoring

Monitor all your vital endpoints—including HTTP(s) and TCP services—with precision and flexibility. Phare allows checks to run as frequently as every 30 seconds, utilizing global locations to verify availability from multiple regions. For technical depth, you can configure custom headers, user agents, and specific success assertions, ensuring monitors accurately reflect real user traffic. Phare also proactively tracks SSL certificates, alerting you to expiry or misconfiguration before they impact service.

🧠 AI-Powered Incident Management and Post-Mortems

Streamline your response during outages with a comprehensive incident workflow. Incidents can be triggered automatically by monitors or created manually, each maintaining a live, extensive timeline of events, alerts, and team comments. Crucially, Phare leverages Mistral AI’s powerful Magistral small model to automatically generate clear incident summaries and detailed post-mortems, helping your team focus on resolution, not documentation.

📢 Granular and Reliable Alerting

Ensure the right people are notified at the right time through their preferred channel. Phare supports a wide range of integrations, including Email, Slack, Discord, Telegram, SMS, and custom webhooks. You define granular rules for which events trigger alerts, and an aggressive retry policy ensures notifications successfully reach your team even during network or system outages, minimizing the risk of missed critical updates.

🟢 Customizable, Conversational Status Pages

Maintain transparency and build user trust by keeping customers informed during maintenance or outages. Phare allows you to host a fully branded status page on your own domain, complete with custom colors and branding. These pages are built for speed and accessibility, supporting RSS/Atom feeds for real-time updates and ensuring your communication is professional and conversational.

Use Cases

Phare moves beyond passive monitoring, providing actionable capabilities for common scenarios faced by growing businesses.

1. Proactive Security and Compliance: Instead of waiting for a user report, Phare monitors your critical APIs and services every 30 seconds. If a custom header validation fails or an SSL certificate nears expiration, the system instantly triggers an alert across multiple channels (e.g., Slack and SMS), allowing the DevOps team to resolve the issue hours or days before it results in a security vulnerability or user-facing outage.

2. Streamlining Team Incident Response: When an outage occurs, the incident is automatically created, and all relevant team members are immediately notified based on pre-set rules. The team collaborates directly within the Phare timeline, adding comments and tracking fixes. Once resolved, the AI automatically generates a draft post-mortem summary, drastically reducing the administrative overhead of closing the incident.

3. Transparent Stakeholder Communication: During an unexpected service interruption, the incident manager publishes updates directly to the branded status page. Users subscribed via RSS/Atom feeds receive immediate notifications, while the public page provides a clear, single source of truth about the issue's scope and expected resolution time, effectively managing user expectations and reducing support ticket volume.
