More flexible color customization for status pages

Sep 24, 2026 By Valeria Kurolapova In StatusGator
We’ve expanded status page color customization to give you more control over your branding and support a wider range of color combinations. Previously, you could select one primary color and one text color for each theme. These colors were applied across multiple elements, which could make it difficult to achieve the right contrast or match certain brand styles. Now, you can customize individual parts of your status page separately for both light and dark themes.

Azure integration now supports service principal authentication

Sep 1, 2026 By StatusGator In StatusGator
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.

SaaS dependencies: the blind spot in your Incident response plan

SaaS dependencies: the blind spot in your Incident response plan

Aug 31, 2026 By StatusGator In StatusGator
So let's talk about the incidents that weren't yours to fix. It's 12:26 UTC on August 14, 2026. Outbound email starts bouncing. Inbound messages from partners stop arriving. Your team checks the obvious things first: mail server logs, recent deploys, firewall rules, your own DNS zone records. Everything on your side looks clean. By 12:48 UTC, an Early Warning Signal by StatusGator has already flagged a spike in reports pointing at Proofpoint. But if you're not watching for that signal, you don't know it exists yet.

Early Warning Signals are now available for status page subscribers

Aug 29, 2026 By Valeria Kurolapova In StatusGator
Your status page subscribers can now receive Early Warning Signals in addition to regular outage alerts. Early Warning Signals is our flagship feature that detects outages before providers acknowledge them on their status pages. When we launched this feature two years ago, we had no idea how effective or beloved it would become. StatusGator now regularly detects outages at your most important providers, giving you that edge and answering the question: “Is it everyone? Or is it just me?”.

Add metadata to multiple monitors at once

Aug 27, 2026 By Valeria Kurolapova In StatusGator
We’ve made monitor metadata easier to manage at scale. You can now use Bulk Actions to add metadata to multiple monitors at once. Select the monitors you want to update, choose Metadata from the Bulk Actions menu, and add the key/value pairs you want to apply. For example, you can quickly add the same team, owner, project, environment, or other custom information across a group of monitors – without editing each one individually.
