Status Page Settings Guide

Your status page settings let you customize everything about how your page looks and behaves. Here’s a complete guide to each tab.

Accessing Settings

1. Go to Status Pages from the left menu
2. Click on the status page you want to edit
3. You’ll see the settings page with multiple tabs

Visual Tab

The Visual tab controls how your status page looks:

Basic Information

• Name - The display name shown on your status page
• Slug - The URL identifier (cannot be changed after creation)

Branding

• Logo - Upload your company logo
• Show logo text - Display your name next to the logo
• Accent color - Primary color for buttons and highlights
• Theme - Light or dark mode

For detailed branding options, see our branding guide.

Components Tab

The Components tab lets you manage what services appear on your status page.

• Add new components
• Create component groups
• Reorder components
• Set default status

For a complete guide, see Managing Components and Groups.

Monitors Tab

Connect your monitors to your status page so uptime data appears automatically.

• Select which monitors to display
• Choose how to show uptime history
• Configure response time display

When a connected monitor detects downtime, it can automatically affect the component status.

If you need some monitors to be visible but not strongly affect your overall status, see: Monitor Impact on Overall Status.

Incidents Tab

Control how incidents appear on your status page:

• Show incidents on page - Toggle incident visibility
• Days of history - How many days of past incidents to show
• Incident display format - Compact or detailed view

For writing clear updates, see the incident creation guide.

Notifications Tab

The Notifications tab controls where owner/team alerts are delivered for this status page, plus some per-page notification preferences.

Notification Channels (linked channels)

This section links your global notification channels to a specific status page.

• Default behavior: If no channels are configured for the status page, the system falls back to email and will notify the status page owner (and team admins) at their account email.
• Manage Channels: Takes you to the global channel manager at /user/status-pages/notifications where you create/edit channels.
• Link Channel: Links an existing global channel to this status page and lets you toggle it on/off for this page.

Component notification overrides

If a monitor is attached to a component, notifications can be scoped using per-component overrides:

• Inherit: Uses the status page’s linked channels.
• Override: Uses only the channels linked for that component (override-only). This can be empty, which means no notifications are sent for that component.

Notification Preferences

Preferences are saved per status page (via the /user/api/status-pages/notification-preferences endpoint) and stored in status_page_notification_preferences.

Event Types

The UI lets you toggle multiple event types. For owner/team alerts on this status page, these event toggles are enforced:

• Monitor Down
• Monitor Recovered
• Incident Created / Updated / Resolved
• Maintenance

Other checkboxes shown in the UI may still be persisted, but won’t have any effect unless the system actually generates notifications of that type.

Quiet Hours

When enabled, Quiet Hours suppress non-critical status page notifications during the configured window.

Scope: applies to owner/team alerts for this status page (linked channels + fallback email), including consolidated/batched alert emails and auto-incident emails. It does not affect subscriber broadcasts or account/security emails.

• Timezone: UTC uses UTC clock time; Local uses the server’s local timezone.
• If Always send critical alerts is enabled, these critical events still send during quiet hours:
  • Monitor down
  • Incident created / updated / resolved

Rate Limiting

Rate Limiting prevents notification flooding by limiting the maximum number of status page notifications that can be sent within the selected time window.

• Scope: per status page (applies to linked channels + fallback email for that page)
• Behavior: once the max is reached, additional notifications are skipped until the window rolls forward

Scope note: this rate limit applies to owner/team alerts for the status page (including batched and auto-incident emails). Subscriber broadcasts and unrelated account emails are not governed by this setting.

For subscriber notifications (public subscriptions), see Managing Subscribers.

Access Tab

Configure how users access your status page:

Historical Uptime Access (Teams)

If your status page is linked to a Team, you can choose which team roles can access Historical Uptime.

• By default, only Owner and Admin roles can view Historical Uptime.
• You can allow additional roles from the Access tab.

Learn more in Historical Uptime and Teams.

Free Domain Options

Choose from three free subdomain options:

Your status page URL uses the subdomain format: your-slug.yourdomain.com

Custom Domain

Connect your own domain like status.yourcompany.com. See our Custom Domain guide for setup instructions.

Misc Tab

Additional options for your status page:

• Public/Private - Make your page public or require a password
• Search engine indexing - Allow or block search engines
• Maintenance mode - Put entire page in maintenance state

When you change, set, or remove a status-page password, we may send a security alert email to the account owner so you can quickly spot unexpected changes.

Saving Changes

After making changes, click the Save button at the bottom. Your changes take effect immediately.
