Key Features
Incidents During Service Disruptions- Active incidents are prominently displayed at the top of your page for your visitors to see right when they arrive, and they can subscribe to further updates via email or SMS.Status For Individual Architecture Pieces- Modern systems are made up of many different functional pieces, and listing each piece separately helps you further communicate the status of your infrastructure. Each component can be listed as Operational, Degraded Performance, Partial Outage, or Major Outage.Scheduled Maintenance- proactively reach out to customers via Scheduled Maintenance to avoid the email rage while you're busy getting the servers back on their feet.Shared Components- If you're dependent on Heroku or GitHub, you're in luck. Simply add a Shared Component for each of those vendors, and we'll automatically update its status and when we detect that they are up, down, or in a degraded state.Historical Incidents- Prospective customers can look through your history of incidents and see how well you responded.Display Performance MetricsSourced From Data Partners- import your system data from Pingdom, Librato, New Relic, Datadog, and TempoDB.Notify Your Users During Downtime- Notifications let you be proactive with your customers so that they're in the loop right away, and they can in turn communicate however they need to with the people that rely on them.Email, SMS, Webhooks, RSS and Atom- Notifications can be subcribed to via email, SMS, webhook, RSS, or JSON API endpointsSingle Incidents Or The Whole Firehose- Your customers have the option to sign up for all notifications for all incidents, or they can selectively opt in to notifications after they've been created.
