// Cloudflare integration

Monitor Cloudflare.Hear only when it matters.

Watch Workers, Pages, and zones from a single read-only token.

What Beaam does with Cloudflare

One read-only API token imports every Cloudflare resource across every account it reaches. Beaam reads the GraphQL Analytics API each minute and alerts when something is actually failing — not when traffic merely changes.

What raises an incident

Curated deliberately: a short list worth your attention, not every metric that exists. Each one needs repeated evidence before Beaam calls it — a single bad reading is not an incident.

SignalWhen Beaam speaks up
Worker error rateErrors as a share of invocations. A window with no traffic reports 0, so a quiet Worker never pages overnight.
Pages Functions error rateSame measure for a Pages project's Functions.
Durable Object error rateErrors as a share of DO invocations.
Zone 5xx ratioShare of edge responses that were 5xx, weighted by request volume so a busy bucket isn't averaged against an idle one.

Also collected, but quiet

Charted on the service page and there for context when something does break — but it will not wake you unless you ask it to.

setup

Designed to stay small

Connect a read-only API token; Beaam imports every resource it can reach.

Beaam applies sensible defaults. Threshold configuration is optional, not onboarding.

access

Read-only, and revocable

Beaam never writes to Cloudflare. Credentials are encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a key held as a deploy secret, and are deleted immediately when you disconnect.

Questions

What does Beaam alert on for Cloudflare?

4 signals can raise an incident: Worker error rate, Pages Functions error rate, Durable Object error rate, Zone 5xx ratio. Everything else is collected for context but stays quiet until you opt in.

How long does it take to connect Cloudflare?

Connect a read-only API token; Beaam imports every resource it can reach. Most connections are watching within a few minutes, and you can send a test alert immediately to prove the path works end to end.

Does Beaam need write access to Cloudflare?

No. Beaam only ever performs read operations — there is no code path that writes to a connected provider. Worth separating from that: what Beaam *does* and what a token *permits* are different things. Where Cloudflare offers a read-scoped credential, use it; some providers only issue tokens carrying broader rights than Beaam uses, which is a property of their API rather than of Beaam's behaviour. Scope it as narrowly as the provider allows. Credentials are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before storage and deleted the moment you disconnect.

What does Cloudflare monitoring cost?

The free plan covers two integrations and five watched services, with email, push, Slack and webhook alerts. Solo is $19/month flat for unlimited integrations and services, adding SMS — there is no per-host, per-check or per-alert metering.

Watching more than Cloudflare?

Most stacks are several services with seams between them, and the seams are where the damaging failures hide. Beaam correlates across every connected integration, so a database problem reads as one incident rather than five alarms from five tools.
