We recently launched monitor groups, making it easier to organize monitors on your boards and status pages. Now that same functionality is available in the StatusGator API, so you can manage monitor groups programmatically.
The API now supports listing, creating, updating, and deleting monitor groups on a board. You can also assign or remove monitors from groups when creating or updating a monitor.
What’s new
Full monitor group management
- List all monitor groups for a board
- Create new monitor groups with a name and optional position
- Retrieve details for a specific monitor group
- Update a monitor group’s name or position
- Delete a monitor group
- When a group is deleted, any monitors assigned to it become ungrouped
Assign monitors to groups
- When creating or updating a monitor, you can optionally include a
monitor_group_id - This lets you move monitors into a group or remove them from a group in a single API request
Why this matters
If you manage monitors through automation or infrastructure-as-code, this update lets you:
- Keep board structure fully in sync with your internal systems
- Automatically organize monitors by service, environment, or team
- Avoid manual reorganization in the UI as monitors change over time
