Creating Status Pages

Create professional status pages through an intuitive editor with live preview.

Prerequisites

  • An Upstat project with catalog entities configured
  • Access to create status pages (Contributor or higher role)

1. Start a New Status Page

Navigate to Status Pages in the sidebar and click Create Status Page.

The editor opens with a split-screen interface:

  • Left Panel - Configuration tabs
  • Right Panel - Live preview showing real-time changes

2. Configure Basics

In the Basics tab, set up the core information:

  1. Enter a Title (e.g., “Platform Status”)
  2. Add a Description explaining what this page monitors
  3. Choose a Perspective:
    • Traditional - Display multiple services on one page
    • Entity Based - Focus on a single entity with its dependencies

3. Select Content

In the Content tab, connect your status page to catalog entities:

  1. Filter by entity type if you have multiple types
  2. Select entities to display on this status page
  3. Watch the preview update as you make selections

If you see “No entities found in catalog”, configure catalog entities first.

4. Apply Branding

In the Branding tab, customize the visual appearance:

Theme Mode

  • Light, Dark, or System (matches visitor preference)

Logo and Colors

  • Upload your company logo
  • Set brand color, background color, and text color

Layout

  • Choose Row, Grid, or Timeline layout style

Typography

  • Specify a custom font family

5. Configure Settings

In the Settings tab, set access and behavior options:

  • Public access - Make the page publicly accessible
  • Password protection - Require a password to view
  • Custom domain - Use your own domain (e.g., status.yourcompany.com)

6. Review and Publish

Use the live preview to verify your configuration:

  1. Check how entities display with their status indicators
  2. Toggle between desktop and mobile preview
  3. Test different status states (Operational, Degraded, Down)
  4. Click Save to publish your status page

Result

Your status page is live and automatically reflects the health of your catalog entities. Visitors can check service status and subscribe for updates.
