Status page

Status pages are one of the most important pieces of your incident management process, Creating a public status page and providing it to your users can be very beneficial, for example:

  • Users/Clients can be ensured of the status of your services at any time
  • It can eliminate duplicate or false tickets which can be submitted from users at the time of any incident.
  • You can inform your users of future maintenance or incidents.
