Setting up a status page
Create and publish a public or private status page in minutes.
A StatusOwl status page gives your users a live view of your service health. Every page is served from a fast edge network and stays up even when your origin is down.
Creating a status page
- In the dashboard, go to Status Pages → New Page.
- Enter a page name and slug (e.g.
acme→acme.statusowl.app). - Upload your logo and choose brand colors.
- Click Create.
Adding components
Components are the services or sub-systems displayed on your page. Each component is linked to one or more monitors. StatusOwl automatically computes the component's operational status from the linked monitors.
- Single monitor — status mirrors the monitor directly.
- Monitor group — status is degraded if any monitor is down, and down only if all monitors fail.
Custom domain
On Starter plan and above, you can serve your status page at your own domain, e.g.status.yourcompany.com. Add a CNAME record pointing to pages.statusowl.net, then add the domain in the page settings.
CNAME status.yourcompany.com pages.statusowl.netPropagation time
DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate globally, though most resolvers pick them up within 15 minutes.
Public vs private pages
Public pages are accessible to anyone with the URL. Private pages require visitors to authenticate — useful for internal dashboards shared with enterprise customers.
