Status Pages Overview

Status pages provide a public-facing view of your service health that customers and stakeholders can check during incidents or outages. Upstat’s status pages automatically sync with your catalog entities, eliminating manual component maintenance.

What Status Pages Provide

Status pages serve as your primary communication channel during incidents:

  • Real-time status - Service health updates without page refresh
  • Catalog integration - Direct sync with your existing service definitions
  • Subscriber notifications - Email and RSS updates when you publish
  • Custom branding - Logo, colors, themes, and custom domains
  • Incident history - Transparent record of past incidents

Catalog-Driven Architecture

Unlike traditional status pages that require manual component creation, Upstat’s status pages reference your catalog entities directly.

This means:

  • Status updates automatically when monitors detect issues
  • New services appear immediately after catalog creation
  • Renamed entities update everywhere instantly
  • No duplicate definitions to maintain

Two Perspectives

Status pages support two display approaches:

Traditional Perspective

Display multiple services on a single page. Choose which entities to include and organize them in sections.

Best for:

  • Platform-wide status pages
  • Multi-service dashboards
  • Infrastructure overviews

Entity-Based Perspective

Focus on one specific entity from your catalog, showing its relationships, dependencies, and operational context.

Best for:

  • Product-specific pages
  • Service-focused communication
  • Detailed dependency views
