Status pages
Components and groups
Components are the services your visitors see a status for. This page covers adding them, setting their status, linking them to uptime monitors, grouping them, and how the uptime history on the public page is built.
Add a component
Fill in the details
- Name: what visitors see, for example
API. - Description (optional): what the component covers.
- Group (optional): the product it belongs to. See Component groups.
- Status source: Set manually or Sync from monitor. See Status source.
- Initial status: the status a manual component starts with.
To change a component later, use the pencil icon on its row. To remove it, use the trash icon and confirm.
Component statuses
A component is always in one of five statuses:
| Status | Use it when |
|---|---|
| Operational | The service works normally. |
| Degraded Performance | It works, but slowly or with errors for some requests. |
| Partial Outage | Part of the service is down, or it is down for some customers. |
| Major Outage | The service is down. |
| Maintenance | Planned work is in progress. |
The page's overall banner at the top shows the worst status across its components, for example All Systems Operational or Major Outage.
Status source
Set manually
A manual component keeps the status you give it. Change it from the status control on the component's row in the Components tab.
Sync from monitor
A synced component follows an uptime monitor. Pick the monitor under Uptime Monitor when you add or edit the component. Its row then shows a Synced badge, and its status cannot be set by hand. The status follows the monitor:
| Monitor state | Component status |
|---|---|
| Up | Operational |
| Degraded (slow) | Degraded Performance |
| Down | Major Outage |
| Paused | Maintenance |
If EvoHub cannot read the monitor's state for a moment, the page keeps showing the component's last stored status.
What visitors see during incidents and maintenance
A published incident or a maintenance window in progress can show a component differently from its own status:
- An active incident colors its affected components by its public impact: Minor shows as Degraded Performance, Major as Partial Outage, Critical as Major Outage. A component already in a worse state keeps the worse one.
- A maintenance window in progress shows its affected components as Maintenance, even if their monitor reports them down.
When that happens, the component's row in the console says so, for example "Major Outage on the page · API latency", so you see what visitors see. The status control on the row still shows the component's own status. See Incidents and maintenance.
Order components
Visitors see components in the order the console shows them. To reorder, drag a component by its handle onto another, or use the up and down arrows beside it. Dropping a component onto one in another group also moves it into that group.
Component groups
A group is a product: a name and the components in it. Groups only change what visitors see when the page uses the Folded groups or A page per group layout. With One list, groups help you organize the console but are not shown publicly.
Create a group
You can create a group in two ways:
- Type a new name in a component's Group field. The field suggests the page's existing groups as you type.
- Click New group, give it a Name, tick the components that belong in it, and click Create group. Components you pick move out of any group they were in.
Group names are unique on a page.
Manage groups
Each group has controls in its heading:
- Add: add a component straight into this group.
- Rename group (pencil icon): renames the group everywhere, including its subscribers and its logo. Clear the name to ungroup its components.
- Move group up / Move group down: change the order of groups.
- Starts open (Folded groups layout only): whether the group is expanded when a visitor opens the page. Groups are folded by default.
Groups as product pages
With A page per group, the main page shows a card per group, and each group gets its own page. The group heading in the console shows that page's address, for example /payments, and how many subscribers follow it.
- Group logo: click the image slot beside the group name to upload a logo for its card and page (PNG, JPEG or WebP, up to 2 MB). Use the × to remove it.
- Limit: A page per group allows up to 3 groups. The console will not let you add a fourth group while this layout is on. A page that already has more groups cannot switch to it until you merge or ungroup some.
- Ungrouped components: components in no group are not shown to visitors in this layout. The console warns you about them. Move them into a group, or give that set a name.
Uptime history
The public page shows a row of daily bars for each component, covering the page's History window (30 or 90 days, set on the Appearance tab), with the uptime percentage for that period.
- For a component synced from a monitor, each day's bar comes from the monitor's measured uptime for that day.
- For a manual component, a day is green unless an incident or maintenance window affecting that component overlapped it. Those days take the incident's or the maintenance's color.
- Today's bar always shows the component's current status.
Hover over a day to see what happened. In the Folded groups layout, each group shows one combined bar; open the group to see each component's bar.
