Creating incidents often means filling out the same information over and over again. That’s why we’ve added Incident Templates – a faster way to create incidents using pre-configured settings. With templates, you can save commonly used incident details and apply them with a single click whenever you need them.

Today I'm sharing some big news. IsDown is joining UptimeRobot When I started IsDown, the idea was simple. Keeping track of outages across dozens of vendor status pages was painful, and I wanted to make it easy to see, in one place, when the services you depend on go down. Thousands of teams now rely on IsDown to do exactly that. Joining UptimeRobot is the natural next step.

Many teams use Notion as the central hub for documentation, runbooks, incident response, and operational planning. When an outage occurs, the last thing you want is for responders to jump between multiple tools searching for information about the health of critical vendors and dependencies. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the StatusGator Notion integration.

We launched the StatusGator v3 REST API back in October, and it has only gotten better since. v3 is a ground-up redesign built around organization-level API tokens, a consistent response format, opaque string IDs, pagination, and a large set of write endpoints for managing monitors, incidents, and subscribers. We have kept shipping new capabilities for it, and we will keep doing so. v2, on the other hand, is done.

We’re excited to announce the launch of the StatusGator Chrome extension, a new way to check the status of websites and online services directly from your browser. Whether you’re troubleshooting an issue, wondering if a website is down, or looking for more information about an ongoing incident, the extension gives you instant access to service status information with a single click. Simply install the extension and start checking the status of websites and services as you browse.

We’re excited to announce the launch of the StatusGator browser extension, now available for both Chrome and Firefox. Whether you’re troubleshooting an issue, wondering if a website is down, or looking for more information about an ongoing incident, the extension gives you instant access to service status information with a single click. Simply install the extension and start checking the status of websites and services as you browse.

We’re excited to introduce monitor metadata, a new feature available in the General tab of monitor settings. You can now add custom key/value metadata to monitors, making it easier to organize resources and add operational context to alerts and integrations.

We’re excited to announce expanded functionality for the StatusGator Boards API. You can now create new boards, update existing boards, and delete boards directly through the API. Previously, the Boards API only supported listing boards and retrieving board details. With these new capabilities, you can automate the complete board lifecycle – from provisioning new boards to managing ownership and cleaning up boards that are no longer needed.

On June 3, 2026, Shopify experienced a widespread service disruption that affected merchants and customers across multiple regions. Users reported storefront failures, admin dashboard issues, API connectivity problems, and authentication errors that disrupted ecommerce operations for several hours. While the outage did not affect every Shopify customer, reports quickly began arriving from around the world, indicating a significant platform issue.

We’ve been busy shipping new features and enhancements to help you monitor critical services more effectively, investigate incidents faster, and customize your StatusGator experience. This month’s updates include historical outage reports, our new Datadog integration, expanded monitoring coverage in Asia Pacific, improved email branding options, and performance upgrades for monitor metrics. We also crossed a major milestone with more than 8,000 services now monitored by StatusGator.
