At StatusGator, we’re always looking for ways to make your experience smoother. That’s why we’ve introduced a small but impactful update: you can now see the status and name of each monitor directly on the configuration page. This improvement saves you time and simplifies setup, ensuring you have all the information you need at a glance. Whether you’re adding new monitors or reviewing your existing ones, managing your configuration has never been easier.

We’ve heard your feedback and added another handy improvement to Website monitoring and Ping monitoring —new alert settings to better fit your needs: These options make it easier to get the alerts that matter most to you. Check them out in the Website or Ping Monitoring configuration page and fine-tune your setup today!

We’ve added a helpful new option to our TV Integration that lets you choose how incidents are displayed. With this update, you can enable expanded incident descriptions to show full details directly on your TV dashboard. This feature is perfect for teams that need more context at a glance, making it easier to stay informed and respond quickly without navigating elsewhere. You can find this option in the TV Integration settings – just check it for a more detailed view of incidents!

We’ve been listening to your feedback, and we’re excited to roll out the new Automatic Maintenance Resolution feature! Now, when you schedule maintenance, your service status will automatically update to “Resolved” at the scheduled end time, and any affected monitors will also switch back to “UP.” This makes managing your maintenance events even easier, without the need for manual updates.

StatusGator’s Early Warning Signals alerted customers to several notable service outages in October 2024. With advanced warning, our users could take proactive measures, minimizing the impact of downtime on their businesses. Here’s a summary of how our detection gave customers an edge over service disruptions, often notifying hours or minutes before the provider even acknowledged the issue.

Here’s an update to make our Early Warning Signals emails even more useful. Now, each alert includes a brief summary of potential downtime, giving you instant insight into what might be going on. This added detail helps you assess the situation quickly so can see if it affects your team.

It’s time for another update from the StatusGator team! While our team was hard at work on improvements and bug fixes, many communities around the United States spent October cleaning up from the impact of hurricanes. If you’d like to help, we’d ask you to join us in supporting our friends and customers in Buncombe County, North Carolina by donating to the Buncombe County Schools Foundation. Thank you for support and now let’s get into what’s new.

We’ve just rolled out a new Check Now feature for Website and Ping monitors! This lets you manually check the current status of your monitor instantly, right from the admin board. Whether you’re monitoring a Website or using a Ping monitor, this option provides the most up-to-date status when you need it. To access the Check Now feature, simply go to your Monitors page, find the Website or Ping monitor you’d like to check, and click the three dots icon next to it.

We’ve made some updates to the status page layout, allowing users to easily access important monitor details like Uptime History and Components across all layout types, including the 2-column and 3-column views.

We’ve made an upgrade to the “Check for Content” feature in our website monitors! Previously, users could select just one location at a time from US West, US East, EU West, and AU East via radio buttons. Now you can monitor your content from multiple locations instead of just one. By choosing multiple regions you can ensure that transient network issues don’t cause your monitor to go down unexpectedly.
