Slack & email alerts
Get notified in Slack or by email the moment something breaks. Microsoft Teams, Discord, SMS, voice, and webhooks are coming soon.
Alerting & On-call
The right alert, to the right person, at the right time.
Spectra confirms failures from multiple regions, then routes alerts through your channels to the team that owns each monitor — with quiet hours and severity filtering. Signal, not noise.
Confirm before alerting
We re-check from 2+ regions and require consecutive failures, so blips never wake your team.
Per-monitor routing
Attach channels to the monitors that matter, so each alert reaches the team that owns it — no noisy global firehose.
Quiet hours & severity
Mute specific monitors, set quiet hours, and filter by severity — while critical alerts always come through.
Recovery notifications
Get the all-clear the moment service returns, with the exact downtime recorded.
On-call & escalation
On-call rotations and escalation policies — page the next responder until someone acknowledges — are coming soon.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions teams ask us
How does Spectra avoid false alarms?
Before alerting, Spectra re-tests from multiple independent regions and requires consecutive failures. A momentary blip in one region won't page anyone.
Which alert channels are supported?
Today, Spectra sends alerts via Slack and email. Microsoft Teams, Discord, SMS, voice call, and webhooks — plus PagerDuty and Opsgenie — are coming soon.
Can I control the noise?
Yes. Route each monitor's alerts to specific channels, set quiet hours, and filter by severity so only what matters reaches you — with critical alerts always coming through.
Are on-call rotations available?
On-call rotations and escalation policies are coming soon. Today you can route alerts per monitor and tune them with quiet hours and severity filters.
How fast are alerts delivered?
Typically within seconds of a confirmed failure — well under a minute end to end, depending on your check interval.
