Status Pages

A status page is a public web page where a service reports its current health, ongoing incidents and planned maintenance. Software companies, hosting providers, internet service providers and many online businesses use status pages to communicate openly during problems. Most hosted status page services also publish incident history as an RSS or Atom feed, which lets customers and tools follow updates automatically. Status pages reduce support load, because users can check the facts before contacting support. Articles under this tag cover how to publish, distribute and monitor status updates across social networks, messaging apps and team chats.
