# Add a component

`POST /status-pages/{statusPage}/components`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.spectate.net/v1`
- URL: `https://api.spectate.net/v1/status-pages/{statusPage}/components`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

The component starts operational and goes last in its group unless you give a
`position`. Without a group it goes last in the last ungrouped section, and the components
after that section move down by one position. `monitor_id` must be a monitor of the team
(`422` otherwise).

## Path parameters

- `statusPage` string, uuid, required

## Request body

- CreateStatusPageComponent: A new component of a status page. Its status follows incidents and maintenance.
  - `name` string, required: Name shown on the page
  - `description` string, nullable: Text shown with the name; `null` for none
  - `group` string, nullable: Group to show the component in; `null` for no group
  - `position` integer: Order on the whole page, lowest first, from 0 to 32767. New components go last in their section when left out
  - `monitor_id` string, uuid, nullable: A monitor of the team whose uptime history and response times the component shows, and whose downtime opens an incident when monitor automation is on; `null` for none
  - `show_latency_chart` boolean: Show the monitor's response time chart under the component
