Of those, 153 incidents (19.39%) were acknowledged by providers, while 636 (80.61%) were not officially acknowledged. StatusGator’s Early Warning Signals often surface service disruptions before providers post an official update.

Azure integration now supports service principal authentication

We’ve released some improvements to our Azure status integration. StatusGator can now read your Azure Resource Health events via a service principal. Previously the only supported authentication mechanism was OAuth. Both pull the same data and produce the same alerts – the difference is who the connection belongs to, and what happens to it over time.
