# Next Steps

### Enable monitoring

StatusPal supports monitoring out-of-the-box, so we can be a replacement for tools like Pingdom, Datadog, and Newrelic when you have basic monitoring needs.

StatusPal monitoring can be useful for the following:

1. get an email alert when one of your services goes down.
2. Automate incident reporting on your status page.

To enable monitoring, click on Edit on a given service and scroll down to the "Monitoring and Incident Automation" section:

### Custom domain configuration

To enable custom domain, click on `Status page` from the sidebar and scroll down to the "Domain name" section:
