Kolab Monitoring · Veyer In build
Know it broke before your customers do
Kolab Monitoring watches your website, your API, your backups and your till sync, and sends a WhatsApp the moment something you rely on actually breaks. Your customers get a branded status page that tells the truth: all services operational, your work is safe.
- Alarms fire only on observed impact from your own probes, never on rumour
- A backup that did not run is an incident: heartbeat watching built in
- WhatsApp alerts with quiet hours, because nobody reads email at 2 am
- Branded status pages in three languages, on your own domain
Made for
Finding out from an angry customer is not monitoring
Most Mauritian businesses discover an outage the worst way: a customer calls, a sale is lost, or Monday reveals the backup quietly stopped running in March. The tools that solve this are priced in dollars, and their paid tiers cost more than the hosting they watch. So nobody watches, and the silence gets mistaken for health.
Veyer probes your things from the outside, the way a customer reaches them: the website, the API, the certificate about to expire, the nightly job that must check in or be declared missing. When something you rely on actually breaks, the right person gets a WhatsApp, an incident opens itself, and the first probe that sees recovery closes it. When nothing is broken, Veyer stays quiet, which is the harder discipline.
This is not a product imagined on a whiteboard. It is the monitoring NexOps already runs on its own infrastructure, and the service-status doctrine every Kolab product ships with, packaged so any business can point it at its own systems. Every Kolab vertical gets its status page powered by Veyer; your e-commerce site, office internet or fridge gateway can sit right beside them.
The watcher already works
Veyer is in build, but its two halves exist and run today: a live monitor on NexOps infrastructure and a written status doctrine shipped in every NexOps product.
- The health-card monitor runs daily on the NexOps VM stack: systems roll up to cards, drill into individual checks, and alert on WhatsApp
- Every NexOps product ships a service-status module with probes, incident history and maintenance mode, built on a written doctrine
- Auto-incidents, flap debounce, deduplication and vendor-feed context are running code, not a roadmap
- Kolab status pages move onto Veyer first: we are our own founding customer
Modules
Everything inside Kolab Monitoring
Every module is a brick. Start with what hurts most, snap on the rest when you are ready.
Uptime Probes
HTTP, ping, TLS expiry and keyword checks, run from the outside the way a customer arrives.
Heartbeats & Cron Watch
Dead-man switches for scheduled jobs. A backup that did not run is an incident, not a mystery.
Public Status Pages
Branded per product or per business, on your own domain, in English, French and Kreol Morisien.
Auto-incidents
Open on healthy-to-broken transitions, deduplicated, and closed by the first probe that sees recovery.
WhatsApp, SMS & Email Alerts
Per-contact routing and quiet hours, so the right person wakes up, once.
Maintenance Windows
Announced ahead, subscribers notified, tracked, and excluded from uptime honestly.
Vendor Feed Context
Cloud provider incidents shown as context: provider issue, you are not affected. Never your alarm.
Uptime & Response History
Honest percentages by month and response-time charts, the same numbers your customers see.
Multi-site Checks
Down for everyone, or just your office connection? Probes from more than one place settle it.
On-call Rotation Light
Who gets woken this week, visible to the whole team and fair by design.
Embedded Status Widgets
A live status dot inside any app or site you run, powered by the same probes.
Subscriber Updates
Customers subscribe to your status page and receive incident notices in their language.
A closer look
How Kolab Monitoring feels day to day
Every check, its true state, at a glance
Each thing you watch carries one of four states: ok, degraded, down or unknown, and unknown before a first run never alarms. One affected service turns the summary orange; two or more turn it red. No mystery colours, no guessing.
- HTTP, ping, TLS expiry and keyword probes on your schedule
- Heartbeat checks sit beside uptime checks in one list
- One affected service shows orange, two or more show red
WhatsApp wakes you; recovery lets you sleep
When a real outage is confirmed, the on-call contact gets a WhatsApp with what broke, since when, and from how many probes. Acknowledge it, fix it, and the first probe that sees recovery closes the incident and says so, with the downtime on the record.
- Per-contact routing: the right person, not the whole group
- Quiet hours for the small stuff, never for a confirmed down
- Recovery closes the incident automatically, with times logged
Incidents open themselves, and only for real
A bad probe must persist for about 90 seconds before an incident is recorded, so a wobbly wifi moment never spams your history, though the status icon reacts instantly. One outage is one deduplicated incident, however many probes saw it.
- Flap debounce: about 90 seconds of confirmed impact before history records it
- Deduplication: one outage is one incident, not forty
- Vendor incidents shown as context, never as your alarm
Reassurance with honesty, on your domain
A status page has one job: telling your customers the truth kindly. All services operational, and your work is safe. When something breaks, the incident appears with plain words, and when maintenance is planned, it is announced ahead and excluded from uptime.
- Your logo, your domain, three languages
- Maintenance announced ahead, subscribers notified, uptime excluded
- Uptime percentages your customers see match the ones you see
Local by design
A watcher that knows the island
Outages here have local causes and local channels. Veyer treats cyclones, CEB cuts and WhatsApp as first-class citizens, not edge cases.
WhatsApp first
Nobody reads email at 2 am, but everyone hears WhatsApp. Alerts land where Mauritius already talks.
Cyclone aware
A Class III warning banner on your status page tells customers why deliveries pause, before they ask.
Power-cut context
Multi-site checks tell a CEB cut at your office from a real outage at your host, so you do not restart a server that was never down.
Three languages
Status pages and incident notices in English, French and Kreol Morisien, so every customer reads the truth comfortably.
Rupees, not dollars
The dollar tools charge more per month than a Mauritian SME pays for hosting. Veyer is priced in rupees, per organisation, with unlimited teammates.
Support that answers
A local team on local hours. When your monitoring confuses you at a bad moment, a human picks up.
Boost for ops teams, without pager pressure
Veyer never rewards closing incidents fast, because that rewards lying. Boost celebrates the quieter virtues: calm systems, honest write-ups and windows that end on time.
Incident-free streaks
Every service builds a visible streak of quiet days. The team that keeps things boring finally gets the credit for it.
Honest-postmortem badges
Writing the what-happened note earns points. Hiding it earns nothing. The record is the achievement, not the silence.
Estimate discipline
Maintenance windows that end when they said they would earn points. Customers learn your announcements can be trusted.
In the wild
What it looks like in real businesses
Used to learn the site was down from an angry customer the next morning. Now a WhatsApp at 02:14 and a fix by 02:31, with 17 minutes on the record instead of a lost Saturday.
Runs thirty branded client status pages from one screen, and links each incident to its Kolab ITSM ticket. Clients stopped phoning to ask if it is just them.
The fridge gateway missed its heartbeat at 03:00 and Veyer said so. The technician arrived before sunrise, and the weekend stock survived.
