How does StatusGator monitor services?
StatusGator keeps you informed by regularly checking the official status pages of the services you follow and translating that information into your dashboard and alerts.
Monitoring method
- We fetch each service’s official status page at regular intervals—typically every 5 minutes.
- We gather statuses using:
- Public APIs (when provided),
- Reverse-engineered or undocumented endpoints, or
- Web scraping (when no API is available).
- If a service's status page is unreachable (e.g., the status page is down), StatusGator shows the service status as the last known status.
- When your service is successfully retrieved, its status is updated across your dashboard, status page, and notifications.
- If a status page fails to load or its structure changes, our team is alerted so we can address the issue quickly.
Why it matters
Consistent polling ensures precision and timeliness—you receive updates within seconds of a detected change. Whether a provider reports an issue or something changes on their end, StatusGator helps you stay ahead of incidents and keep your team informed.
