New Status page update is here! Now you can enhance your status pages by adding custom links, providing more information and resources right where your audience needs them. Here’s what you can do with this new feature.

Exciting news! We’re rolling out an update: You now have the ability to upload custom icons for any monitor, including service monitors. Previously, you were stuck with the platform-provided icon for services monitors. This enhancement is all about giving you more control and customization. Let’s take a closer look at how this update can enhance look of your board and status page.

Whether you run your web app or rely on third-party services such as HubSpot, Slack, Basecamp, and Gmail, staying on top of web applications has become a part of many businesses’ daily business activities. As a result, modern web application monitoring software has become necessary for every company. Web application monitoring software allows users to monitor and assess various aspects of web apps, including functionality, efficiency, and performance.

In today's digital landscape, maintaining transparency with your customers and stakeholders is paramount. One effective way to achieve this is through a status page. A status page provides real-time updates about your service’s performance, incidents, and scheduled maintenance. However, you must first promote your status page so your customers can take advantage of it.

We’ve just opened up the StatusGator API to all users on all plans — even the Free plan. Previously, our REST API was a feature only of our higher level plans. But we’ve opened up the API to all plans to allow more people to take advantage of our status data. The API limits vary by plan by are generous enough to employer real-time dashboards and other uses.

In the digital realm, incidents such as service disruptions and security breaches are inevitable. Incidents affect your customers and stakeholders. Also, incidents pose significant challenges to IT, Ops, DevOps, and customer support teams. As we increasingly depend on digital tools and services, the demand for seamless performance escalates, highlighting the importance of effective incident communication.

As you may know, StatusGator status pages allow end-users to submit what we call issue reports — problems with services that may not yet appear on your status page. You have always been able to get notified via email of those. But now you can also receive issue reports as tickets in your helpdesk. Integrations with Freshdesk, Freshservice or Zendesk have just been released.
