Service Screens

Reference for the screens that manage “services” — the groups your monitors belong to. The number of services you can create depends on your plan.

The home screen after login. All of your team’s services appear as cards.

When no notification channels are configured, a “Notification channels are not set up” banner appears at the top of the list. Click “Set up” to open the Integrations screen. Dismissing it with ✕ hides it permanently in the same browser.

On success you are taken to the service detail screen.

Three tabs: Monitors, Incidents, and Public settings. During maintenance, a banner shows “This service is under maintenance until {time}”.

  • List of monitors with status badge, name, type, and check interval
  • New: go to monitor creation
  • Per-row edit and delete (delete shows a confirmation dialog)
  • Select multiple monitors with checkboxes to start / end maintenance in bulk
  • Incident list (title, start / resolve time, status badge)
  • Create incident: register a manual incident (marked with a “Manual” badge)
  • Acknowledge: set status to acknowledged
  • Resolve: set status to resolved
  • Only manually created incidents can be deleted
  • Publish status page: toggling saves immediately. The public URL and badge embedding instructions appear when published
  • Custom domain (Business plan only):
    1. Enter a domain (e.g. status.example.com) and press “Enable”
    2. The status becomes “Pending validation”; add the shown CNAME / TXT records to your DNS and press “Validate”
    3. On success the status becomes “Active” and the status page is served on your domain
    • DNS propagation can take up to 48 hours. You can “Retry” after a failed validation

You can change the service name, slug, and description. Changing the name does not regenerate the slug (to protect published URLs). Publishing and custom domains are managed on the detail screen’s Public settings tab.
