Status pages
A status page is a hosted page that shows the live health of a set of monitors. You can keep it private for your team, or make it public so customers can check your service status without contacting support.
Creating a status page
Go to Status Pages in the left navigation and click New status page.
Fill in the basic details:
- Name — shown as the page heading (e.g.
ACME Status) - Description — optional subtitle shown below the name
- Accent color — the highlight color used for the status banner and interactive elements. Choose a preset or enter a custom hex value.
- Show "Powered by Vantaj" — toggle the small attribution badge at the bottom of the page
Click Create to save the page and continue configuring it.
Adding monitors
Switch to the Content tab. Monitors are organised into sections — each section can have an optional title (e.g. Production, Infra, Third-party services).
- Click Add monitors inside a section to pick monitors from your workspace
- Assigned monitors appear as chips; click the × on a chip to remove one
- Click Add section to create another group
- Sections with no title are displayed without a header
The right side of the editor shows a live browser preview that updates in real time as you type — no need to save first.
Monitors from any project in your workspace can be added to a status page.
Visibility
Switch to the Access tab after creating the page.
| Setting | Who can see the page |
|---|---|
| Private | Only signed-in members of your organisation |
| Public | Anyone with the link — no login required |
Private pages
Private pages are accessible only to signed-in org members. A private link (e.g. app.vantaj.co/s/p/…) is shown so you can share it internally.
Publishing a public page
- Set visibility to Public
- Enter a slug — the unique identifier that appears in the URL:
app.vantaj.co/s/your-slug - Click Save changes — the page is immediately live
The slug must be lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens, between 3 and 50 characters.
Unpublishing
Click Unpublish (shown next to the Published badge) to instantly make the page private again. The public URL stops working immediately. Any configured custom domain shows a "private page" message to visitors.
RSS feed
Enable the RSS Feed toggle in the Access tab to give subscribers a live feed of incidents and monitor status changes. The feed URL is:
https://app.vantaj.co/api/rss/your-slug
Any RSS reader (Feedly, NetNewsWire, etc.) can subscribe to this URL. The feed updates within 60 seconds of a status change.
Email subscriptions
Enable the Email subscriptions toggle in the Access tab to let visitors get notified by email when you open or resolve an incident on the page.
Once enabled, a bell button appears in the page header. Visitors enter their email and receive a confirmation message; after confirming, they're notified on incident updates. They can unsubscribe at any time from a link in those emails. Subscriptions are available on public pages.
Badges and embeds
Switch to the Share tab to get a live status badge for your README, wiki, or any webpage, as well as an embeddable widget.
See Badges & Embeds for full details on all options.
Incidents
Use the Incidents feature to communicate planned maintenance or outages directly on your status page. Click the Incidents button next to the Edit button on the Status Pages list.
Creating an incident
Click + New incident and fill in:
- Title — a short description shown prominently on the status page (e.g.
Production API Unavailable) - Verb — the type of update (
Identified,Monitoring,Update,Resolved, etc.) - Timestamp — the exact UTC date and time of this first update
- Message — details about what happened and what's being done
Posting updates
Expand any incident card and click + Post update to add timeline entries as the situation evolves. Choose a verb and timestamp for each update.
When you post a Resolved update, the incident is automatically marked as resolved — no separate action needed.
How incidents appear on the status page
Active (ongoing) incidents are displayed prominently at the top of the status page, above the monitor sections. The "All Systems Operational" banner is hidden while any incident is active.
Resolved incidents from the last 30 days are shown in the Past Incidents section at the bottom, grouped by date.
Re-opening and deleting incidents
- Reopen — moves a resolved incident back to ongoing
- Delete incident — permanently removes the incident and all its updates
Resolved incidents are automatically purged after 30 days.
Custom domain
You can serve your status page from your own subdomain (e.g. status.yourcompany.com) instead of the default Vantaj URL. See Custom Domains for setup instructions.
Deleting a status page
Go to the Manage tab and click Delete Status Page. You will be asked to confirm. Deletion is permanent — the public URL stops working immediately and cannot be recovered.
