Display components separately
Many cloud services are made up of multiple components—regions, APIs, products, or features. StatusGator lets you display each component as a standalone monitor on your board and status page.
Why separate components?
The main benefit is flexibility:
You can create multiple service monitors for the same service, each tracking a different set of components.
This is especially useful if:
- Different teams care about different parts of the service (e.g., DevOps team tracks APIs, Support team tracks the help desk).
- You want to create custom groupings of components for internal projects or workflows.
- You need different notification rules for each component group.
Example: For AWS, you could create separate monitors for EC2, S3, and RDS—each with its own name, icon, and notification settings.
How to display a component separately
- Add or locate the main service
- Go to Monitors > Add monitor, search for the main service (e.g., Amazon Web Services), and select it.
- Configure component filters
- Click the three-dot menu (⋮) next to the service and select Configure.
- Go to the Component filters tab, choose Filter to specific components, then search for and select the component(s) you want (e.g., "Athena").
- Customize display name & icon
- In the General tab, give it a clear name (e.g., "AWS Athena") to help your team identify it at a glance.
- Optionally, upload a custom icon to distinguish it visually from other monitors.
- Save and review
- Save your configuration.
- The board and status page will now show the component as its own monitor—repeat the process for additional components if needed.
Tip: By setting up separate monitors for each component group, you can apply unique notification settings and filters to each. Note that each monitor you create counts as 1 monitor against the monitor quota available on your plan.
