Monitor dependencies are now available through the StatusGator v3 API.
The new endpoint lets you programmatically retrieve the relationships and dependencies associated with a monitor, giving your integrations and internal tools more context about the services each monitor relies on.
Dependencies are already available in the StatusGator UI for Website, Ping, and Custom monitors, while StatusGator automatically identifies relationships for many Service monitors. Learn more about monitor dependencies and how they work.
Retrieve monitor dependencies
Use the new relationships endpoint to list the dependencies associated with a monitor:
GET /boards/{board_id}/monitors/{monitor_id}/relationships
You can find the endpoint and full response details in the StatusGator API v3 documentation.
This makes it possible to bring dependency information into your own tools and workflows without having to reference it manually in StatusGator.
For example, you can use the endpoint to:
- Show upstream dependencies in an internal monitoring dashboard
- Add dependency context to automated incident workflows
- Help internal tools identify services that may be contributing to an outage
- Map relationships between the services and infrastructure your organization relies on
More dependency API capabilities are coming
For now, the new endpoint is read-only, so you can retrieve monitor dependencies but cannot add, edit, or remove them through the API.
We plan to expand the API with additional dependency management capabilities in the future, making it possible to manage these relationships programmatically as well.
Explore the new endpoint in the API v3 documentation.
Have an API feature or dependency workflow you’d like us to support? Let us know. We’re always looking for ways to make StatusGator easier to integrate into your monitoring and incident management workflows.
