Status pages

A public page that tells your users what is working, what is not, and what you are doing about it.

A status page turns “is it just me?” into an answer, and takes the pressure off your support inbox during an outage.

Each page is built from components — monitors you choose to expose publicly — plus incidents you publish and maintenance windows you schedule.

What a page shows

  • Overall system status.
  • Each component and its current state.
  • 90 days of uptime history per component.
  • Active and recent incidents, with their update timeline.
  • Scheduled and in-progress maintenance.

Glowo status pages list showing a published page named Example Cloud

A status page in the dashboard, with its components and groups.

Component statuses

Status Meaning
OPERATIONAL Working normally
DEGRADED_PERFORMANCE Working, but slow or impaired
PARTIAL_OUTAGE Some users or some functionality affected
MAJOR_OUTAGE Down
UNDER_MAINTENANCE Inside a maintenance window

These are derived from the underlying monitor, and can be overridden during an incident when the human picture differs from what a probe can see.

Getting one live

Create the page

Give it a name and a slug. It starts unpublished.

Add components

Choose which monitors to expose. Not every monitor belongs on a public page — see Components and groups.

Make it yours

Pick a template and colours, add a logo and favicon.

Publish it

Publishing makes the page reachable. Until then, share it with a preview link.

Put it on your own domain

Optional but worth doing — see Custom domains.

Choose components deliberately

The most common mistake is exposing every monitor. A public page listing your internal queue workers and staging database tells your users nothing useful and tells everyone else about your architecture.

Expose what a customer can perceive: the app, the API, sign-in, uploads. Keep the internals on the dashboard where they belong.
