January 2026 Early Warning Signals

January 2026 saw a wave of high-impact service disruptions across social platforms, telecom providers, developer tools, education services, and streaming apps. In several cases, StatusGator detected problems minutes or even hours before providers publicly acknowledged them, and in many cases, providers never acknowledged them at all. Unfortunately, many providers still do not have public status pages, leaving users with little visibility into what is happening during an outage.

Now available: More monitor history

We’re excited to roll out an improvement many of you have been asking for: extended historical metrics for website and ping monitors. Until now, monitor metrics like availability, downtime, and response times were limited to the last 24 hours. While useful for short-term checks, this made it harder to spot trends, investigate intermittent issues, or understand long-term performance. That changes today.

Monitor groups are now supported in the API

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.
