--- title: "Monitor third-party service statuses from Statuspage" description: "The new Statuspage integration alerts you in Datadog whenever your third-party service statuses change for easy correlation alongside your other metrics." author: "Abril Loya McCloud" date: 2016-05-26 tags: ["alerts", "statuspage", "statuspage.io"] blog_type_id: the-monitor locale: ko --- The widespread use of external services has made tracking their availability a key part of maintaining infrastructure performance. [Statuspage](https://www.atlassian.com/software/statuspage) hosts status pages for many commonly used external services including Citrix, Twilio, [Bitbucket](https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/understand-code-changes-impact-system-performance-bitbucket-datadog.md), Travis CI, CircleCI, Codeship, Segment, Keen IO, KISSmetrics, and [HipChat](https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/new-hipchat-integration.md) to communicate their availability status to customers and give updates during downtimes. Statuspage also provides the capability to follow the pages of any third-party service you may use within your environment. ## Get alerts with our StatusPage.io integration With Datadog’s new Statuspage integration, you will be notified whenever one of the services you are following goes down. You can build [Datadog alerts](https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/event-alerts-another-way-to-trigger-notifications.md) around these events or see them in context with other notifications in your event stream. By pulling these service change notifications into your events stream, you can easily overlay and correlate any issues reported by Statuspage with metrics across your infrastructure. By providing more contextual information, these events can help you quickly pinpoint third-party service issues that may affect your application performance. ![statuspage.io integration image](https://web-assets.dd-static.net/42588/1776294192-datadog-statuspage-io-integration-statuspage-02.png) *StatusPage.io incident in a Datadog event stream* You can annotate and discuss incidents being reported with your team directly within your event stream, closing the gap between event and investigation.
