Monitor Vercel.Hear only when it matters.
Hear about a failed production deploy — and nothing at all about your preview builds.
What Beaam does with Vercel
Beaam imports every project in the authorized Vercel scope and checks project state, domains, and complete deployment history every minute. Production failures remain active until a newer successful production deployment supersedes them.
What raises an incident
Curated deliberately: a short list worth your attention, not every metric that exists. Signals that can blip need repeated evidence before Beaam calls them; a reading that is definitive by nature — the provider reporting a failure outright — alerts on the first observation.
| Signal | When Beaam speaks up |
|---|---|
| Production deployment | A failed, blocked, cancelled, stuck, unaliased, or check-failing production deployment → degraded. |
| Project availability | A paused or non-live project → broken. |
| Production domains | One or more unverified project domains → degraded. |
| Runtime errors | When the optional Log Drain is active, production 5xx/crash evidence can alert without replacing pull liveness. |
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.
- Deployment activity
- Project and domain state
What connecting needs
- Sign in with Vercel: read access to user, teams, projects, deployments and domains, plus permission to create one runtime Log Drain.
- Access token instead, scoped to the personal account or team you want watched. The token path never creates a Log Drain.
- Runtime Log Drains depend on your Vercel plan. If yours does not support one, Beaam connects without it and says so.
What Beaam will not tell you
Stated rather than discovered later. Some of these are deliberate — an alert that is not about your system is noise — and some are simply where this integration's view ends.
- Preview deployment failures are charted but never alert.
- A deployment's state does not prove visitors get a response. Pair it with an HTTP check.
- The project-not-live alert is off by default, and the 5xx-rate alert waits for at least 20 requests.
- Vercel Cron jobs have no health signal of their own.
- A quiet Log Drain is not proof of health — it is never read as one.
setup
Designed to stay small
Sign in with Vercel and approve access — no token to create. Beaam finds every team it reaches and adds one runtime Log Drain; an access token still works instead.
Beaam applies sensible defaults. Threshold configuration is optional, not onboarding.
access
One write, and revocable
Signing in with Vercel creates one runtime Log Drain in your account, pointed at Beaam, so runtime errors arrive as they happen. A failed connect removes it again, and so does disconnecting. If Vercel refuses, Beaam tells you which drain to delete in your team's Log Drains settings.
Beaam never changes your infrastructure. 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 Vercel?
4 signals can raise an incident: Production deployment, Project availability, Production domains, Runtime errors. Everything else is collected for context but stays quiet until you opt in.
How long does it take to connect Vercel?
Sign in with Vercel and approve access — no token to create. Beaam finds every team it reaches and adds one runtime Log Drain; an access token still works instead. 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 Vercel?
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 Vercel 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 Vercel monitoring cost?
The free plan covers two integrations and five watched services, with email, Slack and webhook alerts. Solo is $19/month flat for unlimited integrations, services and organizations, with collaborators included — there is no per-host, per-check or per-alert metering.
Watching more than Vercel?
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.
