Status page features
Everything Orbis Status does, by group. It tells your customers what is happening. It does not monitor your systems for you.
Status page
A clear public page that shows how your service is doing right now.
- Free subdomain: your-name.orbisstatus.co.uk
- Connect your own domain free, with automatic HTTPS
- Your logo, brand colour and links
- Incident history page
- Atom feed, status.json and a status badge for your website
- Custom CSS from Startup, custom HTML and JavaScript from Business
Components and uptime
Show the parts of your service your customers care about.
- Components, in groups if you like
- Operational, Degraded performance, Partial outage, Major outage and Under maintenance
- 90-day uptime bars and a percentage for each component
- Public metrics charts, fed through the REST API
Incidents
Say what is happening and keep people up to date.
- A timeline of updates: Investigating, Identified, Monitoring and Resolved
- Impact levels: None, Minor, Major and Critical
- Set the status of affected components as you post
