Changelog

All the latest features, fixes and work to OpenStatus.

Run Check API

Run Check API

We have added a new API to launch a check with OpenStatus. You can now test your endpoint's latency programmatically.

It's useful if you want to integrate OpenStatus with your CI/CD pipeline.

You can read the API documentation or our guide to integrate it in GitHub Actions to get started.

Maintenance status

Maintenance status

You can now set your status to Under Maintenance to inform your users that you're performing maintenance. You'll be able to set the start and end times for the maintenance period. During this time, we will pause the connected monitors and suppress any notifications.

To create a maintenance, go to the corresponding status page and click the 'Maintenance' sub navigation. From there, you can create a new maintenance status, including title and description.

The users will be able to see all maintenances under a new tab on the status page.

Status page monitor order

Status page monitor order

You can now sort your monitors by importance on your status page. This allows you to prioritize the most important monitors and show them at the top of your status page.

Password-protected status page

Password-protected status page

You can now protect your status page with a password. This will hide the page from the public and only allow access to users with the password.

You can enable the password protection from the status page within the Visibility settings. You will be able to:

  • Enable the feature with a simple checkbox to easily turn it on and off
  • Set your password
  • Share the protected page with a ?authorize=your-password query parameter to auto-complete the password field

This feature is available on the Starter plan and above.

Status Page SVG Badge

Status Page SVG Badge

We have added a new feature to embed the status of your service everywhere.

Just copy the following code and paste it into your website or GitHub README:

And it will look like this:

Public Monitors

Public Monitors

You can now change the monitors visibility to public. This will allow you to share the monitor's metrics (the overview page) with your users. The period is restricted to 1d and 7d for now.

The monitor can be accessed either by the public URL or/and by embedding the monitor within a status page.

You can enable public mode from the monitor Danger section setting.

Website screenshots for incidents

Website screenshots for incidents

We want to provide you with as much context as possible when an incident occurs. That's why we've added website screenshots to incidents.

When creating an incident, we capture a website screenshot for added context. We also take a screenshot upon resolving the incident to see the website post-resolution.

Request assertions

Request assertions

Not all requests should return a 200 status code to be successful. Sometimes you want to assert on the status code of a request. For example, you might want to check that a request returns a 404 status code when a resource is not found.

You can now do this with OpenStatus when you configure your monitor.

Monitor Tags

Monitor Tags

You can now create tags for your monitors to easily categorize them. Tags can be used to filter monitors on the dashboard and in the monitor list.

Create, update or delete a tag via your monitor settings.

Status Page Subscribers

Status Page Subscribers

When visiting your status page section, you will find a list displaying all individuals who have subscribed to receive updates from your status page.

This feature enables you to easily identify and manage the subscribers who are following your page for notifications and alerts regarding updates on your services.
