Filter service components
Some services have multiple components — for example, AWS has hundreds of individual products and regions, and Salesforce has many instances. By default, StatusGator monitors all components for a service.
Filtering lets you choose only the components you care about, reducing alert noise and focusing your monitoring.
Why filtering is important
- Reduces noise – Get alerts only for the components you actually use.
- Improves clarity – Your board and status page show only relevant items.
- Saves time – Avoid sifting through unrelated incident notifications.
How to filter components
- Open the component filters
- Click the three dots menu next to the monitor name and select Configure, then go to the Component filters tab.
- Or click the component icon next to the monitor name directly in the table.
Info: Services without an official status page (These are marked with an X icon next to their logo) don’t have an official component list, the Components tab will not be available.
- Choose a filter mode
- Monitor all components – Default setting; tracks everything for the service.
- Filter to specific components – Lets you select only the components you need.
Info: Some services like AWS, Salesforce have very large component lists. Use the search bar in the Component filters tab to find components as they are not displayed by default.
- Select components
- Use the search bar to quickly find the components you care about (e.g., “N. Virginia”, “S3”, “EU West”).
- Check the box next to each component you want to monitor.
- All changes are gonna be saved automatically.
What happens after filtering
- StatusGator will only alert you for the selected components.
- The status of your monitor will reflect the status of only the components you selected.
- Non-selected components will be hidden from your board and status page.
- You can update your filters anytime by revisiting the Component filters tab.
