To set up a status page, select ‘New status page’ on the Status page overview.
  1. Begin by selecting a name for your page.
  2. Next, create at least one card for your page. Cards define the order and grouping of services on your page. One card can contain one or multiple services and will show the average uptime for all the services on the card.
  3. If you haven’t already created a service for your page, you can do so from the Services dropdown. Read more about services here.
  4. Select a subdomain for your page. By default status pages will use the domain .checkly-status-pages.com but you can also use your own domain. See Custom domains for details on how to configure this.
  5. When you are happy with your setup, click ‘Create status page.’ You will now see a preview of your page, and below the status page name, you have a link to the public page.
You can now share the link to your status page, and your users can subscribe to receive notifications when incidents are posted.

Service Creation and Management

Create services that align with how your users think about your application:
# Good service examples
Frontend Application:
  - Website loading and navigation
  - User interface responsiveness
  - Client-side functionality

API Services:
  - Core API endpoints
  - Authentication services
  - Data processing capabilities

Third-party Integrations:
  - Payment processors
  - Email delivery services
  - External data sources
Create services from your users’ perspective, not your internal architecture. Users care about “Login” working, not whether your “Auth microservice cluster” is healthy.
