Status pages

What a status page shows

A status page is a shareable view of selected RMON checks. Use it to show colleagues, customers, or an operations team whether published services are available without giving them access to the RMON interface.

The page shows an overall condition, each selected check's name and uptime, recent states, and an optional response chart. The group and check type may also be visible.

notice
A status page URL is public to anyone who can open it. Do not treat the slug as a password and do not publish confidential check names or descriptions.

Create a page

  1. Open Monitoring → Status pages.
  2. Click + Create status page.
  3. Enter a clear Name, such as Customer services.
  4. Enter a unique Slug. Use lowercase letters, numbers, and single hyphens; for example, customer-services.
  5. Click Next.
  6. Add an optional Description that explains the scope of the page.
  7. Move the checks you want to publish from All checks to Added checks with the + button. Use to remove a check.
  8. Optionally add custom styles, then save the page.

Select only checks that are meaningful to the intended audience. A customer page usually needs customer-facing services, while an internal operations page may include dependencies and regional checks.

Open and share

After saving, the status-page list shows the page name, description, overall condition, and public path. Click the page row to open it in a new tab.

  1. Open the public page while signed out or in a private browser window.
  2. Check the title, description, service names, groups, and current states.
  3. Open an available response chart and confirm that its contents are appropriate for the audience.
  4. Copy the displayed page URL and share it with the intended users.

All Systems Operational means all checks on the page are currently healthy. Not all Systems Operational means at least one published check requires attention. Each check's color and uptime provide more detail.

Edit or delete a page

Deleting a status page does not delete the checks displayed on it. Removing a check from a page also leaves the original check unchanged.
