Create public status page

Goal: Create a public status page that you can link from your website or in emails to customers. It will show them the current state of your services.

Step 1: Open status pages

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

Step 2: Basic details

• Name - e.g. "Our services - status" or "MyCompany uptime"
• Slug - the URL part (e.g. mycompany). The URL will be https://epulz.io/status/mycompany
• Description (optional) - a short text about what the status page represents

Step 3: Choose components

From the list of your monitors, choose which ones should be displayed on the status page. Best:

• Only components relevant to the customer (not internal DB, NPM admin, etc.)
• Group multiple monitors into a single "component" (e.g. "API" = 3 healthcheck monitors)
• Maximum 8-10 components, more is overwhelming

Step 4: Branding (optional)

• Logo - upload PNG / SVG, displayed at the top of the status page
• Color - accent color (default cyan)
• Links - custom links in the footer (Web, Twitter, support email)

Step 5: Subscribers

Visitors can subscribe their e-mail for notifications on state changes. The feature is available on paid plans (Standard and higher). Details in the subscribers guide.

Step 6: Save and get the URL

After saving you get the public URL of your status page:

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

Link it from the footer of your website, emails, or marketing documentation.

Custom domain - roadmap

Hosting status pages on a custom domain (e.g. status.mycompany.com) is not implemented yet. Status pages currently run only on the epulz.io/status/<slug> subpath. Custom domain is on the roadmap - if you need it, let us know via the contact form.

Updates during an incident

During a real outage you can add incident updates:

1. In the status page detail click + New update
2. Severity (investigating / identified / monitoring / resolved)
3. Title and body of the update
4. Optional: broadcast e-mail to subscribers
