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.

Top 5 outages detected by StatusGator in October 2024

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.

October product updates

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.

"Check Now" for instant status updates

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.

Website content checks are now multi-region!

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.

StatusGator is the world’s best status page aggregator: We aggregate the status of thousands of cloud services and hosted applications from their official status pages. But everyone knows official status pages are often behind and in those critical moments before the status page is updated, you might be thinking “Is it just me? Or is it really down?” StatusGator’s Early Warning Signals solves that by alerting you before providers even acknowledge the incident.
