Create public status page

Goal: Create a public status page that you can link to from your website or from emails to customers. It shows visitors the current state of your services (whether they are running, in maintenance or experiencing an outage).

Step 1: Open status pages

1. In the dashboard, click Status page.
2. Click + New status page.

Step 2: Basic details

• Name - for example "Our services - status" or "MyCompany uptime".
• Slug - a short identifier in the address (URL). If you enter mycompany, the resulting address will be https://epulz.io/status/mycompany.
• Description (optional) - a short text describing what the status page represents.

Step 3: Select components

From the list of your monitors, choose the ones that should appear on the status page. A few tips:

• Select only services that are relevant to the customer (not internal tools such as a database or admin panel).
• You can group several monitors of the same type into a single "component" (for example "API" = 3 monitors for different API endpoints).
• A maximum of 8 to 10 components - more looks cluttered and the visitor gets lost in it.

Step 4: Branding (optional)

• Logo - upload an image in PNG or SVG format, it will appear at the top of the status page.
• Color - accent color (the default is turquoise).
• Links - custom links in the footer (website, social media, support email).

Step 5: Subscribers

Visitors can subscribe with their email to receive notifications when the status changes. The feature is available on all plans (including the trial). You can find the details in the guide on subscribers.

Step 6: Save and get the address

After saving you will get the public address (URL) of your status page:

https://epulz.io/status/your-slug

Link to it from your website footer, from emails to customers or from marketing documentation.

Updates during an incident

During a real outage you can add ongoing incident updates:

1. In the status page detail, click + New update.
2. Choose the severity level (investigating, identified, monitoring, resolved).
3. Add a title and a short description of the update.
4. Optionally: send the update by email to all subscribers.
