What StatusGator is and how it works
Overview
StatusGator is a tool that shows the status of thousands of cloud services in one place.
It checks the official status pages of service providers and collects updates about incidents, outages, and maintenance. This information is turned into a simple, consistent format so you can quickly see what’s working and what’s not.
You can also add your own:
- Website monitors to check if your websites or APIs are up.
- Ping monitors to see if a server or host is reachable.
- Custom monitors to track the status of your internal systems or services.
StatusGator can send Early Warning Signals when it detects possible problems — sometimes even before the provider posts them on their official status page.
Whether you work in IT, DevOps, or customer support, StatusGator helps you spot issues faster and keep everyone informed.
What StatusGator can do
With StatusGator, you can:
Monitor 6,000+ cloud services
Track uptime, incident history, and maintenance events for providers like AWS, GitHub, Zoom, Microsoft 365, and more.
Aggregate status in one place
Combine all your monitored services into a single public or internal status page for a clear, unified view.
Get proactive alerts
Receive instant notifications via Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Discord, Webex, email, SMS, or webhook when a monitored service reports an outage.
Get Early Warning Signals
Be alerted about possible problems before the provider posts them on their official status page.
Monitor any website or host
- Website monitors – Check if any website or API is available and responding.
- Ping monitors – Test basic network reachability for any server or host.
Create custom monitors Works like a regular status page tool for your own product or service. Perfect if you run a SaaS platform, e-commerce site, or mobile application and want to create a status page for your end users or internal team. Custom monitors let you define and update incidents manually, so you can communicate outages, maintenance, and other events even if there’s no automated monitoring in place.
Share status with your audience
Keep customers, employees, and stakeholders informed with a clear, branded status page.
How it works
You choose what to monitor
Add services from our list of 6,000+ official status pages, or add your own targets using website monitors, ping monitors, or custom monitors.
We watch for changes
- Official status pages – We check them automatically for incidents, outages, and maintenance updates.
- Services without status pages – We monitor them using our detection algorithm and look for unusual signals.
We detect issues early
Our Early Warning Signals identify possible problems before the provider posts them.
We notify you instantly
Choose how you want to be alerted — Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Discord, Webex, email, SMS, or webhooks.
We make statuses easy to understand
No matter what language or format the provider uses, we convert it into simple statuses:
- Up – Service is fully operational
- Warn – Confirmed minor outage or Possible outage (detected by StatusGator before official confirmation).
- Down – Confirmed major outage
- Maint – Scheduled maintenance
You share status with your audience
Show all your monitored services on one branded public status page, embed it in other tools, or display it on a TV dashboard.
As an admin, you can also view all statuses internally on your board inside your StatusGator account — perfect for internal teams to track service health in real time.
You stay in control
Update, pause, or remove monitors anytime, and adjust notifications to fit your needs.
