SiteBrief/Documentation

Status Pages

Create unlimited client-facing status pages — one per client, each with its own slug, brand color, components, and incident feed.

Overview

SiteBrief supports multiple status pages per account. Agencies can create a dedicated page for each client so every client gets their own URL, branding, and incident history — completely separate from other clients.

Each status page lives at:

sitebrief.net/status/your-slug

The page shows:

  • Overall system status (All systems operational / degraded / outage)
  • Per-component status with 30-day uptime bar history
  • Active incidents with severity and timeline
  • Subscriber email form for incident notifications

Creating a status page

  1. 1Go to Status Page in the sidebar
  2. 2Click "New status page"
  3. 3Enter a slug (e.g. client-name) and title
  4. 4Optionally pick a brand color
  5. 5Click Create
💡
Tip:Create one status page per client. Each page has completely separate components, incidents, and subscribers — clients only see their own sites.

Managing a status page

Each status page has four tabs in the dashboard:

TabWhat you manage
ComponentsSites / services that appear on the page — name, status override, link to monitored site
IncidentsActive and resolved incidents with severity, title, and timeline updates
SubscribersEmail addresses subscribed to incident notifications for this page
SettingsSlug, title, brand color, custom domain, password protection, enable/disable

Choosing which sites to show

By default all your sites appear on the status page. To hide a specific site, go to that site's detail page → Settings → turn off Show on status page. Changes take effect immediately.

💡
Tip:Use this to show only client-facing production sites while hiding internal staging or monitoring endpoints.

Custom domain

On the Agency plan you can map your own subdomain (e.g. status.youragency.com) to your status page. SSL is automatic — no extra configuration needed.

Step 1 — Add a CNAME record

In your DNS provider, add:

Type: CNAME

Name: status (or whatever subdomain you want)

Value: proxy.sitebrief.net

Step 2 — Add domain in SiteBrief

Go to Settings → Status Page → Custom domain → enter the full subdomain (e.g. status.youragency.com) → Save.

ℹ️
Note:DNS propagation can take up to 24 hours. Once it propagates, https://status.youragency.com will show your status page automatically.

White-label branding (Agency)

Agency plan unlocks full white-label control over your status page — clients see your brand, not SiteBrief.

💡
Tip:Use Custom CSS to match your agency's exact brand guidelines — fonts, colors, spacing, anything. Changes apply instantly without a deploy.

Password protection

Set a password in Settings → Status Page → Password. Visitors must enter it before seeing the page. This is useful for internal dashboards or clients who want privacy. Leave it empty for a fully public page.

Incident management

Create incidents from the Status Page section in your dashboard. Each incident has a severity level and can be updated as you resolve it. Active incidents appear prominently on the status page; resolved ones are hidden.

SeverityWhen to use
MinorPartial degradation, slow responses
MajorA site is down or key functionality broken
CriticalFull outage affecting multiple services
