Monitor third-party service statuses from Statuspage

External service availability is crucial for maintaining infrastructure performance. Statuspage hosts status pages for various external services to communicate their availability and updates during downtimes. Datadog's new Statuspage integration allows users to receive notifications when a followed service goes down, enabling them to build alerts around these events or view them in context with other notifications in the event stream. This helps identify third-party service issues that may affect application performance. The setup process is quick and easy, allowing for seamless tracking of external services' statuses.
