Better Stack

Observability platform for logs, uptime monitors, incidents, status pages, alerts, and on-call workflows.

Supports incident and observability work across logs, uptime monitors, status pages, and incident resolution.

Example Use Cases

These are the Better Stack actions Snow can use when building apps with you. Connecting an account does not make Snow run these on its own.

Acknowledge Incident

Tool to acknowledge an ongoing incident. Use when you need to mark an incident as being worked on, which prevents further escalations. Acknowledging an incident signals that someone is actively addressing the issue.

Create Heartbeat

Tool to create a new heartbeat monitor for cron jobs and scheduled tasks. Use when you need to set up monitoring for a service that should send regular heartbeat signals.

Create Incident

Tool to create a new incident and alert the on-call person. Use when you need to manually report an incident or trigger escalation workflows. The incident will be routed according to the specified escalation policy or default team settings.

Create Incident Comment

Tool to create a new comment on an incident. Use when you need to add documentation, updates, or notes to an existing incident in Better Stack.

Create Monitor

Tool to create a new uptime monitor for a URL or service. Use when you need to set up monitoring for websites, APIs, servers, or network services. Supports multiple monitor types including HTTP/HTTPS status checks, keyword monitoring, ping, TCP/UDP, email protocols, DNS queries, and browser automation with Playwright.

Create On-Call Schedule

Tool to create a new on-call schedule. Use when you need to set up a new on-call calendar for managing team rotations.

Create Status Page Report

Tool to create a new status page report (incident or maintenance). Use when you need to publish a status update about an ongoing incident or scheduled maintenance on a status page.

Escalate Incident

Tool to escalate an ongoing incident to a user, team, schedule, policy, or organization. Use when you need to route an active incident to the appropriate responders with specified notification channels (call, SMS, email, push).

Get Escalation Policy

Tool to get a single escalation policy by its ID. Use when you need full details of a specific escalation policy including its steps, repeat settings, and team information.

Get On-Call Schedule

Tool to get a single on-call schedule by ID. Use when you need to retrieve who is currently on-call for a specific schedule. Optionally specify a date to check on-call status at a specific time.
