Create a status page

A public, per-region status page for your own customers, on your own domain if you like.

1. Create the page and pick its components

From the dashboard, create a status page and attach the checks that should appear as components. Each component shows its regional health separately: a regional outage is visible as exactly that, not averaged into one badge.

2. Choose the address

Every page gets its own <slug>.realuptime.io subdomain; paid plans can verify a custom domain instead.

3. Publish and share

The page is server-rendered, fast, and carries no third-party scripts. Subscribers can sign up for incident notifications, within your plan's subscriber allowance. It also publishes an RSS and Atom feed of incidents and maintenance at /feed.xml and /feed.atom, which most feed readers pick up automatically.

4. Subscribe a calendar to scheduled maintenance

The page also publishes an iCalendar feed of scheduled maintenance at /maintenance.ics, so a calendar app can subscribe to the same windows the page shows. Click Subscribe in your calendar on the public page, or copy the feed address from the dashboard's Maintenance tab, to add it to Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook.

5. Open incidents when things break

Incidents attach to a component and region. Note that resolving an incident while realuptime's own probes still measure the component as down is refused unless forced (error RU-5003): the page must not say resolved while the measurement disagrees.
