Status page options

Every status page always shows each monitor's name and current status. That part has no toggle — a status page that hides status wouldn't be one. What you control is which figures accompany that status: four per-page toggles, all on by default, editable any time from the page's settings. Since a status page is public, each toggle is really a disclosure decision: turn on what you're willing to show anyone who holds the link.

Toggle Adds to each monitor Time window

Uptime percentage

Adds each monitor's month-to-date uptime — the share of this month's checks that succeeded, labelled so visitors know which month it covers. Enable it when you want the page to demonstrate reliability over time, not just the state right now; 99.98% next to a green glyph says more than the glyph alone. What the figures mean at different thresholds is covered in the nines of availability.

Response times

Adds a latency figure: the 95th-percentile (p95) response time over the last 24 hours, in milliseconds. It's explicitly labelled p95 on the page, because an unlabelled number reads as an average — and averages flatter slow tails. p95 answers the question a visitor actually has: "how slow does it get?" See percentiles and p95 explained.

Enable it for audiences who can read a millisecond figure — a client's IT team, or your own engineers. For a non-technical audience that only wants "up or down", leave it off; a number without context invites questions it can't answer.

90-day history bars

Adds a strip of 90 bars per monitor — one per day, coloured by how that day went — with the uptime percentage for the same 90-day window beneath. History is what turns a red glyph into context: a visitor can see at a glance whether today's incident is a rarity at the end of a long green run or the latest of many.

Enable it for monitors that have history. A monitor created last week shows mostly empty bars, which looks unfinished rather than transparent — turn the toggle on once the strip has something to say.

Recent events

Adds a timeline below the monitors: the latest incidents (up to 10) affecting the monitors on this page — and only those monitors, nothing adjacent in your workspace. Each entry shows the incident's title and times only: when it started, and "resolved after N minutes" once closed. Incident bodies are never shown on a status page. Bodies are written for the client they concern — or for your own staff — and may contain internal detail; what a stranger with a link reads is only what a heading says. (The client portal is where a signed-in client sees full incident text.)

Enable it when you want visitors to see honesty in action: an outage with a visible start, a visible resolution, and a duration. One habit makes it work — write incident titles you'd be comfortable publishing, since on a public page the title is the whole story. See incidents and severity for how incidents are structured.
