Status Pages

Why You Need a Status Page

When your service goes down, users want to know two things: is it really down, and when will it be back? A public status page answers the first question immediately and reduces the flood of support tickets, tweets, and emails that accompany every outage.

Status pages also build trust during normal operations. When users can see a consistent uptime record with transparent incident history, they gain confidence in your service's reliability. Many enterprise customers require public status pages as part of their vendor evaluation process.

StatusDude status pages are fully automated. When your monitors detect an outage, the status page updates in real-time. When the service recovers, the page reflects that too. No manual status updates required.

What Your Status Page Shows

Each status page displays a curated set of monitors that you choose. For each monitor, users see:

• Current status (Operational, Degraded, or Down) with color-coded indicators
• Response time chart showing recent performance trends
• Uptime percentage over the last 24 hours, 7 days, and 30 days
• Incident timeline with downtime periods highlighted
• Overall system status summary at the top of the page

Creating a Status Page

Setting up a status page takes less than a minute. Give it a name, choose a URL slug, write an optional description, and select which monitors to include. The page is immediately live at statusdude.com/status/your-slug.

You can include any combination of HTTP, TCP, and heartbeat monitors. Group them logically — for example, an e-commerce site might show separate sections for the web app, API, payment processing, and CDN.

Status Pages for Kubernetes

If you're using the StatusDude Kubernetes agent with auto-discovery, status pages can be created automatically. The agent groups discovered services by namespace or labels and creates a status page for each group. As services are added or removed from your cluster, the status page updates automatically.
