When creating an account, you will be asked for some information that helps us to build your status page:
This is the primary form of contact in case we need to reach out to you about your account. This email address will be kept private. | |
Company Name | This is used on your status page to populate meta tags like title and description as well as other accessibility features. |
Subdomain | This is the subdomain your status page will be available on the simplestatus.page domain. For example, if you set the subdomain to example then your status page would be available at https://example.simplestatus.page. |
Vanity Domain [pro subscriptions only] |
This is the custom domain that you have set up to point to your status page. For example, if you own the domain example.com then you would create a CNAME record with name status that points to simplestatus.page and then set the Vanity Domain here to status.example.com . After the DNS changes propagate you would be able to access your status page at https://status.example.com. |
Website URL | This is used on the status page to link back to your main website. |
Logo URL | This is used on the status page as the header logo image. If you do not include a Logo URL it will show the Company Name instead. |
Favicon URL | This is used on the status page as the favicon. If you do not include a Favicon URL it will show the default simplestatus.page favicon instead. |
Once you have your account configured, you will want to add one or more status endpoints. Each status endpoint will show up on your status page. The status of the endpoint is checked 2 times per minute. A status endpoint is made up of the following:
Service Name | This is used on the status page to identify the service being monitored. | ||||
Private [enterprise subscriptions only] |
If the status endpoint is set to private then it will not show up on your public status page unless you are logged in. | ||||
State |
This tells us whether to check the status of the endpoint and if we should display it on your status page. You have three options:
|
||||
URL | This is the url that we will monitor to get the current status info from your service. | ||||
Type |
This tells us how the handle the response received from the URL. You have two options:
|
||||
Online Threshold | This sets the minimum % required to consider the service to be online when using Type of json with a status that is set to a number. The default value is 100 . However, let's say you have a service that is expected to have a 95 -100 % status value. Then you might set the Online Threshold here to 95 so that it is only considered degraded if the status value is below 95 %. |
||||
Notification Minutes | If the status endpoint is not online for this many minutes you will receive a notification email to the Email on the account. If the Notification Minutes is set to 0 then we will not send any notification emails. |
