# Integrating Monitors With Statuspage

## Overview{% #overview %}

[Atlassian Statuspage](https://www.atlassian.com/software/statuspage) is a status and incident management tool that provides visibility into your applications' and services' uptime. A status page can display custom metrics and events from Datadog, and you can update the status of your systems with Datadog monitor notifications.

## Add Statuspage alerts as Datadog events{% #add-statuspage-alerts-as-datadog-events %}

You can configure the [Statuspage integration](https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/statuspage) to track Statuspage alerts in the [Events Explorer](https://docs.datadoghq.com/events/explorer/).

1. Navigate to [Integrations](https://app.datadoghq.com/integrations) and search for `statuspage` from the list of integrations.
1. Select the StatusPage Integration tile and click **Add New**.
1. Add the status URL and custom tags you want to monitor, for example: `https://status.datadoghq.com` or `https://datadogintegrations.statuspage.io/` with `datadog`, `test`, and `test1` tags. You must include at least one custom tag per page.
1. Click the **Save** icon.

After five minutes, you should see monitor alerts from Statuspage appearing in the [Events Explorer](https://app.datadoghq.com/event/explorer). Set a [time frame](https://docs.datadoghq.com/dashboards/guide/custom_time_frames/) on the top right corner and select **Statuspage** from the list of sources under **Core**.

Click on an alert to display a side panel containing the event's message, tags, and attributes.

## Add Statuspage alerts in Datadog monitors{% #add-statuspage-alerts-in-datadog-monitors %}

### Generate a Statuspage email address{% #generate-a-statuspage-email-address %}

See the [Statuspage documentation](https://support.atlassian.com/statuspage/docs/get-started-with-email-automation/) to generate a component-specific email address.

### Create a metric monitor{% #create-a-metric-monitor %}

To create a [metric monitor](https://docs.datadoghq.com/monitors/types/metric/) that triggers on Statuspage alerts:

1. Navigate to [**Monitors** > **New Monitor**](https://app.datadoghq.com/monitors/create/metric) and click **Metric**.
1. See the [Metric Monitor documentation](https://docs.datadoghq.com/monitors/types/metric/) to select a detection method, define your metric(s), set alerting conditions, and configure advanced monitor options.
1. Customize the monitor name to return `UP` or `DOWN` depending on the test state. For example, `{{#is_alert}}DOWN{{/is_alert}}{{#is_recovery}}UP{{/is_recovery}}`.
1. In the **Configure notifications and automations** section, add the generated email address such as `@custom-statuspage-email@notifications.statuspage.io` in the message. This automatically populates the `Notify your services and your team members` field above **Renotification**.
1. Fill out the monitor notification section and add a summary in the monitor name such as `Shopist Checkout Functionality`.
1. Set the monitor renotification conditions and add tags such as `service:status-page`.
1. Select a team and assign a priority to the monitor.
1. Define the monitor's editing permissions and notification conditions.
1. Once you have configured your monitor, click **Create**.
