New in StatusGator: Reordering Services

As our public status dashboards have become more popular, so has the ability to customize them. Over the next several weeks, we will be rolling out a series of features that allow more customization of your dashboard. Already we’ve added custom CSS capabilities. Today, we’re rolling out service reordering. Our new dashboard management page has a slimmed-down look.

Customize Your Status Page

Many customers have asked us how they can customize the look and feel of their public status dashboard. These pages have become a popular feature of StatusGator. In addition to notifications about the services you depend on, StatusGator provides you single page that you can publish to your users or team aggregating the status of all your services.

New in StatusGator: See component statuses

A small but useful new feature is now available in StatusGator: You can see the status of all the components of a given service from your filter configuration page. As a reminder, component filters are a feature of all StatusGator paid plans. They allow you to filter your notifications and dashboard service statuses to specific components of a given service. Services such as large cloud providers often have dozens or even hundreds of individual regions or products.

Historical status data now available

StatusGator customers on our Venture plan have long had access to historical cloud status data. In the past, a simple support request was all it took to get a CSV or JSON feed of any cloud service status data. Now, we’ve brought that data into the StatusGator app itself. A new menu item is now available: Reports & Data. From there, you can choose a data range and download the complete history of all the services in your dashboard: We’d love to know what you think of this feature.

Status Dashboards: Now with dark mode!

Since we first launched our customizable, brandable, public status dashboards, customers have been asking us for a dark mode version. We’re excited to announce dark mode has arrived! StatusGator is the premier status page aggregator that collects the status of all the services you depend on and organizes them into a handy public dashboard you can send to your team, users, or stakeholders. And now it won’t blind you with it’s bright white background!

Status Dashboards now automatically refresh!

Many customers have requested that StatusGator’s customizable, brandable, aggregated status dashboards automatically refresh. Well your auto refreshing dreams have just come true because StatusGator status dashboards now update every 5 minutes automatically! Each dashboard will now refresh every 300 seconds, otherwise known as 5 minutes, automatically. And, of course, you can still refresh your browser yourself to get the latest content.

You can now customize the names of services in StatusGator

StatusGator is the easiest way to publish a unified status page featuring the status of all the services you depend on. Our public status dashboards have become a favorite feature allowing schools, startups, and enterprises alike to publish a quick and easy page showing the status of all their cloud services.
