With the fall season well underway here in the northern hemisphere, the StatusGator team has been donning our hoodies and getting down to business on some long-requested features. We’ve got some fresh updates and features that we think you’ll really like — giving you even more control and insight over your monitors.
Service monitor improvements
StatusGator now monitors services that lack an official status page, including hosted applications, ISPs, and many other types of services. How does it work? Our system estimates service health based on user-reported incidents and other detected data. If we suspect potential downtime, you’ll receive alerts to stay informed. Learn more here
Website monitoring: Timeout setting now available
Website monitoring has a useful new setting. You can now configure a timeout — the maximum response time allowed (in seconds) before the service is marked as down. This new option gives you greater control, allowing you to adjust how sensitive your monitor is to service or network slowdowns. We’ve heard from many customers that our default 30 second timeout was too fast for some of their monitored endpoints so you can now increase (or decrease) the sensitivity of this.
Status page: Dark mode logo
We’ve added a great new customization option for your status pages—now you can upload a separate logo specifically for dark mode! This ensures that your brand logo looks just as sharp and clear in both light and dark themes, giving your status page a polished, professional appearance no matter which mode your users prefer.
