As we move into the fall season here at StatusGator HQ, we wanted to update you on our progress the last 2 months. In between vacations, our team has been hard at work bringing you the next iteration of StatusGator. We have a ton of new stuff you’ve probably already seen but the highlights are announced formally below.
Stay tuned for a few more LONG requested features over the next few months!
Scheduled maintenance for custom monitors
You can now schedule maintenance for your custom monitors and notify your subscribers with ease. This feature allows you to manage and communicate planned downtime for IT systems, school networks, or SaaS products. Simply add custom monitors, schedule maintenance, and keep your users informed through automated notifications. Learn more about scheduled maintenance.
Centralized notification preferences
You can now access a comprehensive list of all your monitors and their respective notification preferences from one centralized page. This streamlined interface makes it easier than ever to keep track of and adjust your alert settings. Learn more here.
Issue reports and early warning signals
We are excited to share that our Early Warning Signals feature, previously in beta, is now fully available to all StatusGator users on all plans. This long-awaited feature ensures you never miss a beat and keeps you informed of outages before a provider publicly acknowledges them on their status page. Since its beta launch, this feature has successfully detected multiple service outages before they were officially acknowledged by each provider. Here is a sampling:
CrowdStrike – StatusGator notified 3 hours before officially acknowledged
Shopify – StatusGator notified 13 min before officially acknowledged
GitHub – StatusGator notified 11 min before officially acknowledged
Apple – StatusGator notified 2 hours before officially acknowledged
Pearson – StatusGator notified 16 min before officially acknowledged
Azure DevOps – StatusGator notified 8 min before officially acknowledged
