The BEAM #3
A brand-new design, Terraform provider, dark status pages, maintenance windows, single sign-on and much more...
Hey there 👋
It's been a full year since the last edition of The Beam. I've been slacking on the marketing side, but not on the product: Phare shipped more than 40 updates in the meantime. Here are the big ones you might have missed.
A brand new Phare design
The Phare website and brand got a makeover. It's quite a big change, and I hope you'll like the new direction: more mature and more playful at the same time. Most of the dashboard is unchanged, so you'll still feel at home.
Terraform provider & API improvements
Phare now has an official Terraform provider and plenty of new API endpoints, so you can manage your projects, monitors, alert rules, status pages and more from code or through your own automations.
Community members also built new ways of using Phare: check out the Ansible collection, NixOS module and Raycast plugin.
Scheduled maintenance windows
No more hacking around with incidents or sending support requests to announce planned maintenance on your status page: maintenance windows are now a real feature. You can schedule downtime in advance, and choose how incidents are reported and how your SLA metrics are affected during the maintenance.
ICMP monitoring
You can now ping your servers and network devices with ICMP monitors. Many smaller features were also added to HTTP and TCP monitors, giving you more options to avoid false positives or run more advanced checks. Response time charts now also show P75, P90 and P99 percentiles.
Single sign-on
Your members can now log in to Phare with the identity provider of your organization through OpenID Connect. It works with Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, Keycloak, authentik and any other OpenID Connect identity provider, and it's available on the Scale plan.
Dark theme status pages
The most anticipated feature of 2026 was released earlier this year, but only for your status pages. You can now set up light and dark themes, so your status page fits your brand.
Don't worry, more dark mode news are coming soon.
Phare is still growing
Finally, Phare passed 1,000 active organizations last week, and the Discord community just reached 100 members. It's always a pleasure to see the project grow. Thank you for being part of the journey, and keep the feedback coming!
Let me know if you liked this edition of The Beam, and don't forget, you can join the community on Discord.
