Status Pages Overview

Create public status pages that automatically sync with your catalog entities to communicate service health without manual maintenance.


What Are Status Pages?

Status pages provide a public-facing view of your system health that customers and stakeholders can check during incidents or outages.

Unlike traditional status page solutions that require manual component creation and maintenance, Upstat’s status pages automatically leverage your existing catalog entities—eliminating duplicate data entry and ensuring your status page always reflects reality.


Key Benefits

  • Zero Duplication - Your status page directly reflects your service catalog
  • Self-Maintaining - Status updates automatically when your catalog changes
  • Real Relationships - Display actual service dependencies, not invented groupings
  • Minutes Not Hours - Go from idea to live status page in under 5 minutes
  • Live Preview - See exactly how your page will look before publishing

Two Perspectives

Traditional Perspective

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

Best for: Platform status pages, infrastructure overviews, multi-service dashboards.

Entity-Based Perspective

Create a dedicated status page that represents one specific entity from your catalog, showing all its relationships, dependencies, and operational context.

Best for: Product-specific pages, service-focused communication, detailed system views.
