## New features {#new-features}

### Confirmation Threshold (grace period) {#confirmation-threshold}

Monitors can now require **N consecutive checks** before a status change is committed, so transient blips no longer dent uptime % or the day bars.

- Set a per-monitor **Grace period** (1–60, default **1 = off**) in **Monitor → General Settings**, or via `confirmation_threshold` on the v4 monitor create/update API.
- Damping happens once in the scheduled-check write path. A new `monitoring_data.raw_status` column records what each check actually observed, while `status` holds the confirmed side.
- On the Nth consecutive opposite observation the status flips and the pending window is **retroactively backfilled** — a confirmed outage reads as down from its first failing check, and recovery is symmetric.
- Everything downstream — uptime %, day bars, badges, alert evaluation, group scoring — inherits the damped `status` automatically. Alerts compose by `max(grace period, failure threshold)`.

See [Grace Period](/docs/v4/monitors/grace-period) for full details.

### Manual maintenance event transitions {#maintenance-manual-transitions}

Individual maintenance events can now be **manually completed or cancelled** from the maintenance management UI, letting the recorded timeline reflect what actually happened.

- New **Complete** and **Cancel** actions move an event to a terminal `COMPLETED` or `CANCELLED` status and adjust `end_date_time` accordingly.
- Terminal statuses are final — a completed or cancelled event can't be edited further.
- The v4 API supports status transitions alongside window edits, with the two enforced as mutually exclusive.
- Subscribers are notified of the transition.

See [Maintenance Events](/docs/v4/maintenances/events).

### Last known status for "None" monitors {#none-last-known-status}

The **None** monitor type can now optionally reuse the **last known status** (status, latency, and source) instead of reporting no data when no value is pushed. Enable it with the new checkbox in the monitor configuration UI.

### Page settings {#page-settings}

Status pages gained per-page presentation controls, configurable in the manage UI and over the v4 pages API:

- **Per-page status history** — separate day counts for **mobile** (default 30) and **desktop** (default 90), each bounded to 1–365.
- **Monitor layout styles** — choose between `default-list`, `default-grid`, `compact-list`, and `compact-grid`.
- **Meta / social overrides** — per-page title, description, and preview image.

Page settings accept deep-merge `PATCH` payloads over the API, and invalid payloads are now rejected with validation errors.

### Inline monitor toggles {#inline-monitor-toggles}

The **Manage → Monitors** list now lets you flip a monitor's **active/inactive** state and **visibility** inline, without opening the full edit page for a one-bit change.

### API: address the home page with `~home` {#api-home-token}

The home page is stored with an empty path and previously couldn't be addressed over the REST API. `GET`/`PATCH`/`DELETE /api/v4/pages/~home` now targets it, and list and single-page responses render its `page_path` as `~home` so what you read is exactly what you can address. `PATCH` accepts every field except the (fixed) home page path, and `DELETE` is rejected with a 400. Unmatched `/api/` routes now return JSON 404s instead of falling through to an HTML page.

### API: absolute `url` on incident and maintenance responses {#api-absolute-url}

v4 API responses now carry an absolute `url` field so consumers link to the right page instead of concatenating ids onto paths:

| Response                            | `url`                                        |
| :---------------------------------- | :------------------------------------------- |
| Incident                            | `<site>/incidents/<id>`                      |
| Maintenance (list/get/create/update) | `<site>/maintenances/<id>?type=maintenance`  |
| Maintenance event                   | `<site>/maintenances/<event_id>`             |

The URL is built from the configured Site URL plus base path.

### API: delete a monitor by tag {#api-delete-monitor}

A new **`DELETE /api/v4/monitors/{monitor_tag}`** endpoint removes a monitor through the same path the manage UI uses. Monitor deletion now also explicitly cleans up alert-config rows (v2 alerts and the trigger/monitor junctions), fixing orphaned rows left behind on SQLite — which never enforced the `ON DELETE CASCADE` foreign keys. Shared alert configs survive until their last monitor is detached.

## Improvements {#improvements}

### Rich maintenance descriptions on list views {#maintenance-html-descriptions}

Maintenance descriptions now render as **sanitized HTML** on list views — the home page, custom pages, monitor pages, events pages, and embeds — matching the detail page. HTML formatting and line breaks display correctly instead of showing literal tags, with sanitization kept since these render to anonymous visitors.

### Searchable monitor picker for groups {#group-monitor-search}

The group monitor picker now has a **search bar**, making it practical to find and add monitors on instances with hundreds of them instead of scrolling a flat list.

### Database connection pool tuning and health checks {#db-pool-tuning}

The database layer now tunes connection-pool sizing, clamps the pool bounds to safe values, guards the Redis probe, and hardens the error page. The configured database type is logged at startup for clearer diagnostics.

### Broader alert evaluation {#alert-evaluation}

Consecutive status and latency checks now count **all alert-visible sample types**, improving alert reliability, and manually submitted data triggers a best-effort alert re-evaluation after updates.

### Localization {#localization}

- Added a **Ukrainian** translation.
- Fixed syntax errors in the **French** locale strings.
- Updated the default v4 **alert body** description, which still referenced pre-v4 template variables.

## Bug fixes {#bug-fixes}

- **Overall status now follows worst-wins ordering** (`DOWN > DEGRADED > MAINTENANCE > UP`) consistently across components, so an active maintenance no longer masks a real outage in the aggregated status.
- **Social preview images use absolute URLs** — `og:image` and `twitter:image` meta tags now prepend the Site URL, fixing previews that failed because of relative paths.
- **Fixed overlapping header sections** on the public page by adding a single frosted backdrop behind the fixed nav and the sticky theme bar, so page content no longer shows through while scrolling.
