Monitor status and name now visible on the configuration page

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.

New alert options for Website and Ping monitoring

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!

TV Integration: Expand incident descriptions

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!

Auto-resolution for scheduled maintenance

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.
