Statuspage

Statuspage is a web-based tool that creates status pages for your services and applications. When something goes wrong with your website, app, or service, you can quickly post an update that automatically notifies all your subscribers.

The platform does not monitor your systems directly. Instead, it connects with your existing monitoring tools like Datadog, New Relic, or PagerDuty. When these tools detect a problem, Statuspage can automatically update your status page and send notifications to users.

You can create public pages for external customers or private pages for internal teams. The tool includes features like incident templates, scheduled maintenance announcements, real-time metrics display, and historical uptime tracking. Everything works through a simple web interface that anyone on your team can use.

Getting started with Statuspage is simple. Here are the basic steps:

• Sign up for an account and create your first status page. Choose between public, private, or audience-specific page types based on your needs.

• Add components that represent different parts of your service, like API, website, mobile app, or database. Each component can have its own status.

• Invite team members who need to create incidents and manage the page. Set up integrations with your monitoring tools for automatic updates.

• When an incident occurs, create a new incident post. Give it a clear name, select affected components, and write an update message. Choose whether to notify subscribers.

• Update the incident as you work to resolve it. Move through stages like investigating, identified, monitoring, and resolved. Each update can send notifications to subscribers.

• Schedule planned maintenance in advance to keep users informed about upcoming work.
