How to configure a status page? (beta)

We are releasing a new version of our status pages.

You can always have a look how your status page will look like via https://[slug].stpg.dev.

Example: https://status.stpg.dev

Go to the Status Page Redesign (beta) section in your status page settings. Toggle the Enable New Version to support it. Once enabled, you’ll see two subsections:

  1. Tracker Configuration
  2. Theme Explorer
  3. Links
Create your status page

Before choosing to enable the new page, we provide you with a way to check the configuration first. Click on the View and configure status page and you’ll get forwarded to your status page and a bottom right floating button will appear. Once you’re done, click on the Dashboard and you’ll be forwarded to your page where you get asked to save the config before continuing.

We have three new status tracker configurations to provide you with a maximum choice of displaying the collected data.

Bar Type: How every ‘day’ is displayed in for a status tracker. Either absolute or manual.

Card Type: The card type is only configurable if the bar type is absolute. You’ll then be able to choose between duration, which will show the duration of “success”, “error”, “degraded” or “maintenance” reports or requests where we will share the number of request status itself. If manual bar type is chosen, we will only show the most significant status of the day.

Show Uptime: The uptime is calculated by ither the duration of the different reports or the request values depending on what you’ve chosen for the absolute value (incl. incidents). If you’ve chosen manual, it only gets calculated by the duration of your status reports.

A few examples to understand it:

You can choose between different themes. We start with the following three:

  • default (openstatus)
  • supabase
  • github-high-contrast

Visit themes.openstatus.dev to see the list of supported themes. If you want, you can contribute your own to the list.

Let’s have a closer look to your status page header navigation:

Homepage URL: Your logo will support linking to your own website.

Contact URL: If filled out, you will see a Message icon that users can click to forward them to a contact page. This can also be an email client by starting the input with mailto: (e.g. mailto:support@openstatus.dev).


We are adding some additional features. Feel free to let us know what’s missing!
