Status pages, leveled up: your own domain, categories, and subscriber updates

Status pages have been the busiest corner of the platform lately — and this update touches almost every part of them. Here's what's new, from the address bar down to the incident reports.

Your status page, on your own domain

Your status page can now live at status.yourdomain.com instead of a link on ours. Add your domain in the status page settings, point a CNAME record where the instructions tell you, and that's it — SSL certificates are issued and renewed automatically, and a status pill in your settings shows you the moment it goes live. Your customers see your brand, not ours.

Organize monitors into categories

Group the services on your page into named sections — Internal services, External services, APIs, whatever fits. The new editor works the way you'd hope: pick monitors from a dropdown, then drag and drop them between categories and into the exact order you want. Sections render on your public page just like you arranged them.

Keep visitors in the loop, automatically

Visitors can now subscribe to your status page by email and get notified when an incident is reported — and when it's resolved. Prefer feeds? Every status page also publishes RSS. Subscriptions are double-opt-in and unsubscribing is one click, so your visitors stay in control.

Tell the story of an incident, not just the fact of it

Incidents now carry a severity level and a timeline of updates — post "investigating", "identified", and "monitoring" notes as you work, and the whole history shows on your status page. Visitors clicking a day on the uptime chart jump straight to that day's reports, already expanded.

Scheduled maintenance, done right

Plan a maintenance window and your status page handles the rest: an upcoming-maintenance notice beforehand, a clear "scheduled maintenance in progress" banner while it runs, and — important — planned work never counts against your uptime numbers or fires false alerts.

Sparklines, badges, and the small stuff

• Response-time sparklines show each monitor's recent performance right on the page
• An embeddable status badge (SVG) for your README or website that always reflects your current status
• A cleaner hero section with overall uptime at a glance

And behind the status page

The monitors powering it picked up upgrades too:

• Heartbeat monitors — give your cron jobs and background tasks a ping URL; if they go quiet, you get alerted
• TCP port monitors — watch databases, mail servers, game servers, anything with a port
• Repeat and escalation alerts — re-alert while an incident is ongoing, and escalate to a second set of channels if it runs too long
• Duplicate — clone a monitor's full configuration in two clicks
• Monthly uptime report — a summary of every monitor's uptime, incidents, and response times in your inbox on the 1st (you can turn it off in your profile)

All of it is live now. Open your status page settings and give the new editor a spin — and if you've been wanting your status page on your own domain, today's the day. Create or update your status page
