Creating a public status page

A status page is a public web page that shows whether your services are working right now, and how they’ve done recently. Share the link with customers so that during a problem they can check for themselves instead of emailing you.

Set it up

1. Open Status pages and create one (or go to app.offalerts.com/status-page-create).
2. Give it a title, such as “Acme Status”, and an optional one-line description.
3. Tick the monitors and heartbeats to show. Only what you tick is public.
4. Save, then copy the page’s link.

Good to know

• Names of monitors appear on the page, so name them the way a customer would understand (“Website”, “Checkout”) rather than with internal labels.
• How many status pages you can have depends on your plan.
• You can switch a page off without deleting it.
