Public Status Pages, Powered by Your Monitors

Updated April 2026 · 6 min read

A public status page is the single URL you point customers to when they ask "is it just me, or is the site down?" GuardHound bundles status pages with the same service monitors you already use for alerting — no separate StatusPage subscription required.

What Is a Status Page?

A status page is a public web page that shows the live availability of your services and a history of recent incidents. Done well, it cuts inbound support volume during outages, builds trust with customers and prospects, and gives your team a single place to communicate during an incident.

GuardHound status pages are backed directly by your service monitors, so the green/red indicators on the page reflect the same checks your team is alerted on. No double-entry, no risk of the status page disagreeing with the dashboard.

Plan Limits

• Free / Starter $9: 1 status page on Starter (Free does not include status pages).
• Pro $49: up to 5 status pages. Team $79: up to 15.
• Unlimited $99: unlimited status pages, plus portfolio mode for white-labelled multi-brand setups.

Each page can include any subset of your monitors, so you can build narrowly scoped pages (e.g. "Public API status") or company-wide overviews.

Creating a Status Page

1. From the dashboard, open Status Pages and click New Page.
2. Choose a slug — this becomes guardhound.io/status/<slug> — and a display name.
3. Select the service monitors that should appear on the page. You can group monitors into sections (e.g. "Web", "API", "Email").
4. Optionally upload a logo and pick an accent colour.
5. Save. The page is live immediately.

Incident Timelines

When a monitor enters an outage state, an incident is automatically opened on every status page that includes it. You can post updates to the timeline (Investigating → Identified → Monitoring → Resolved) so customers see what is happening without having to email support. When the monitor recovers, the incident is auto-closed but the timeline stays in the public history.

Embedding and Custom Domains

Every status page has a small JSON endpoint and a status badge SVG you can embed in your marketing site or product UI. Custom-domain mapping (status.yourdomain.com) is available on the Unlimited plan as part of portfolio / white-label mode.
