Tiered thresholds and alerts
Is there a way to setup a tiered approach to thresholds? What I am attempting to configure is a way to check for both web site slowness and also down time. If a site is slow to respond, for example if it takes over 1500ms, alert me and set the status to yellow or degraded. If it doesn't respond to the normal URL threshold, set the status to red and send out alerts. Is this something that can be setup?

Regular Expression in does not work in content match
I have a website that returns these two lines User-agent: * Disallow: / I built a regex to recognize this.

DateTime format in alerts
Hello Is it possible to configure DateTime format to be used in sent alerts? i.e I'm getting INCIDENT_TIME in format like 21 May, 2015 1:35 PM IDT. Well, it's not so convenient and it's hard to parse, so I want to configure it or have ISO format at least.

Allow Multiple Monitor Groups in Status Dashboard

Better understanding of Actions
Hi, I'm trying to figure out when actions trigger. I have a monitor with polling from 5 geographic locations, and the notification and thresholds says the 3 locations are required to mark it down. I still sometimes get the action firing when less then 3 locations report it down, and it only sometimes triggers back up even when all locations report OK. In all of these instances I'm not receiving any Email alerts for the item being down (as I shouldn't, only 1 geographic location reports a problem).
FTP RTT Monitor issues
I'm trying to create an FTP RTT monitor - just wanted it to test uploading and downloading in the root folder. but the form won't let me proceed without putting something in the destination folder: I tried just a "/" and I tried "/root" - but they both failed when the monitor ran with error: Destination folder "/root" does not exits to upload. Which kind of makes sense. Any suggestions on how to get this monitor to work to upload just to the ftp root?

Allow more than one user to have full admin role
As far as we can tell, currently only one user can have full access to all features in our account. Granting someone else "Admin" role still does not give them access to the API key, etc. This is a problem in any larger IT department and I would like to see a role that has ALL access that can be given to more than one person. Please consider what would happen if the primary person were to leave the company without transferring access. We would then be required to contact your support and have you

Configs for Different Rails Environments
Hello, How can we configure our Rails application.name in apminsight.conf to default to a different name per environment without manual configurations? The goal is to differentiate Production, Staging, and Development data without manual intervention on each installation. Can the conf file read in ENV variables somehow? Something like this would work great for us (but doesn't work) application.name=ourAppName-$RAILS_ENV Thanks ~Nate

Encrypting Form Login Authentication Information

Server monitor capture CPU intense process
Is there any way to capture a snapshot of the processes/CPU usage when the monitor triggers a treshold. For example, it would be very interesting to know what process is using most CPU when we have a trigger for CPU usage > 90%... Or do I manually need to add all processes under the "Services and Processes" tab for this monitor?
Ability to only trigger alerts if threshold is broken for multiple intervals
Development, Is it possible to add intervals to the alerting on the server agents. We do not need an alert every single time the threshold is met. We would prefer to have a -'consecutive alert' type threshold as well that the system will not generate message until the CPU stays above threshold for 3 intervals of 5 minutes?
Thresholds and Notifications - Feature requests
It would be useful with following changes/addons: 1. Possibility to chose if an exceded threshold should generate status "Trouble" or "Down". 2. Possible to set several combinations of threshhold & activity + notification profiles on the same monitor. Then we could setup one configuration that warns a certain notification group when the server is in Trouble, and then at some other threshold we could warn when it is Down. (i.e. then different methods of alerting the affected people could be used)

scheduled maintenance windows
Hi Guys, Looking at the settings for reoccurring maintenance windows, would it be possible to have something like [number] [day] of the [week/month/year] with which we could create for example : 1st Tuesday of the month Some method of multi select would also be useful so one could achieve for example: 1st and 2nd Wednesday and Thursdays of each month ?
