AI agents for Better Stack
A Monmo agent works in Better Stack the way a reliability engineer who also writes things down would. It keeps monitors and heartbeats in step with what you run, searches logs around each incident, drafts status page updates and writes the incident review. It uses the API tokens you connect, and asks before it creates a monitor, acknowledges an incident or publishes anything to your status page.

What agents do in Better Stack
Monitor every new endpoint
When a new service or page goes live, the agent prepares a monitor for each URL with the check frequency, the regions and the escalation policy you use for similar services, and creates them once you approve.
AskWe launched the new billing API today. Set up monitors for its health and login endpoints like our other APIs.
Add heartbeats for cron jobs
For each nightly job, such as the backup or the invoice run, it prepares a heartbeat with the expected period and grace time and gives you the line to add to the script. Creating heartbeats asks first.
AskCreate heartbeats for our nightly backup and invoice jobs, and tell me what to add to each script.
Search logs around an incident
When an incident opens, it queries your Better Stack logs for the minutes before it started, groups the errors by message and service, checks Sentry for the same errors and points to the first likely cause.
AskThe checkout monitor went down at 13:12. Search the logs from 13:00 and tell me what started failing first.
Draft the status page update
It writes a plain status update from what is known: what is affected, since when, what you are doing and when the next update comes. You edit it, and publishing to the status page waits for you.
AskDraft a status page update for the checkout outage. Keep it short and say we will update again in 30 minutes.
Write the incident review
After an incident resolves, it pulls the timeline, who acknowledged it and when, the logs and the GitHub commit or Vercel deploy that caused it, and writes a blameless review in Google Docs with follow-up actions.
AskWrite the incident review for yesterday's checkout outage, with the timeline, cause and follow-ups.
Report uptime and response times
On the 1st of each month it lists each monitor's availability, incidents and response times for the month before, compares them with the previous month and drafts the summary for your Slack channel.
AskOn the 1st of every month, report each monitor's uptime and incidents for last month and what changed.
Check the on-call rota for gaps
Every Thursday it reads the on-call calendar for the next two weeks, flags shifts with nobody assigned or one person covering too long, and drafts a message asking the team to fill them.
AskEvery Thursday, check the next two weeks of on-call in Better Stack and tell me about any gaps.
How it connects
- 1You create API tokens in Better Stack's settings and connect them once. Uptime and Telemetry use separate tokens, so connect only the ones whose data the agent should see; a team admin can create them.
- 2Better Stack suits your engineering agent, and a support agent that drafts status updates. Keep monitors and on-call schedules out of reach of agents with no part in incidents.
- 3Reading monitors, incidents, logs and schedules needs no approval. Creating, pausing or deleting a monitor, acknowledging or resolving an incident and publishing to a status page each ask first.

Questions people ask
Can an AI agent manage Better Stack monitors?
Yes, with your approval for each change. A Monmo agent lists your monitors, spots services that have none and prepares new monitors and heartbeats to match how you watch similar ones. It creates, pauses or deletes them through the Better Stack connection, or in its own browser when the connection does not cover something, after you allow the card.
Can it post updates to our Better Stack status page?
It drafts them and you publish. The AI agent writes what is affected, since when and when the next update comes, in the tone of your earlier notices. The update appears on your status page only after you allow it, and you can edit the wording first.
Can it search Better Stack logs for me?
Yes, if you connect the Telemetry token. Ask about an error or a time range and the agent queries the logs, groups what it finds by message and service and tells you what stands out, with example lines. It reads logs without asking, since nothing changes.
Will it acknowledge incidents on my behalf?
Not unless you allow it, each time. Acknowledging tells the team someone is on it, so the agent leaves that to the person on call. What it does without asking is the investigation: logs, recent deploys and a short summary ready when someone picks the incident up.
