Quick onboarding: add your first monitor

As part of the onboarding process, you’ll be prompted to set up your first monitor. This only takes a minute:

1. Search for a service you want to monitor, or pick one from the suggested list (e.g., Zoom, AWS, Slack, GitHub, Google Chat).
2. Select the service, then click Next.
3. Filter components: decide how you want to receive notifications.
   • Monitor all components – get alerts for every part of the service.
   • Filter to specific components – focus only on the components that matter most to you (for example, APIs, databases, or regional services).

Note: Filtering is important because it helps reduce noise and ensures your team only gets alerts for the systems you actually rely on.

4. After making your selection, click Next to finish.

Complete setup

Once your first monitor is set up, you’ll arrive on the Monitors page in your board. From here, you can start shaping your monitoring environment:

• Add more monitors at any time to cover additional services.

• Filter components to fine-tune notifications and cut down on noise.

• Connect integrations such as Slack, Teams, Discord, Email, SMS, and more.

• Customize your status page with branding, a custom domain, and subscriber management.

• Add additional boards if you need to organize monitors by team, department, or project.

  The number of boards available depends on your StatusGator plan.

This page becomes your central hub for monitoring and keeping your team informed.
