What's the worst monitoring alert you've ever received?

Hey everyone 👋

I'm Jonathan, the founder of LucidStack. We're launching soon, and before that I'd love to hear from people who run websites, APIs or SaaS in production.

I built LucidStack after too many nights like this: my phone buzzes at 3 a.m., "Website is DOWN", I jump out of bed… and the site is fine. One probe had a hiccup. And when the outage was real, the alert told me nothing about why.

So LucidStack does two things differently:

  • An outage is only declared when most of our regions (Paris, Amsterdam, Warsaw) agree. No more false alarms.

  • Every incident comes with an AI probable cause built from the timeline, the regions, TLS and DNS, plus a draft post-mortem and a public update.

On top of that: status pages on your own domain, monthly PDF reports for your clients and on-call escalation, all hosted in the EU.

Three questions for you:

  1. What's the worst (or funniest) alert you've ever received?

  2. What does your current monitoring setup miss the most?

  3. If you work with clients: what do you show them when something breaks?

Every answer will shape what we build next. And there will be a little something for the Product Hunt community on launch day 🎁

Thanks for reading!
