Monitoring service uptime with Statuspage and New Relic

Statuspage is a status and incident communication tool that can be integrated with New Relic to provide additional data points on total downtime, helping developers find and fix issues faster. To achieve this integration, users need to set up their Statuspage account and create a synthetic scripted API test in New Relic, which periodically makes requests to the Statuspage API to retrieve component status data. This data can then be visualized in New Relic, enabling users to create dashboards and alerts that trigger when pages are no longer operational, providing insights into service uptime and helping developers proactively address issues.
