Status pages
The editor
Section titled “The editor”Components arrange by drag and drop into groups; uptime windows show 7, 14, 30, 90, 180, or 365 days. Changes save explicitly against a draft baseline, and every save creates a numbered version with its author. Versions from the last 90 days restore in one click; pages archive instead of vanishing.
Access modes
Section titled “Access modes”Per page: draft, public, shared password (one password, stored as a hash, never shown again), or viewer accounts (individual sign-ins). Gated modes are included from Sentinel. Sign-in endpoints are rate-limited.
Your own domain
Section titled “Your own domain”status.yourcompany.com instead of a rented subdomain: verify by CNAME or TXT record and TLS is issued and managed automatically. Sentinel carries 3 custom domains per page, Command 10.
The CNAME target is a token host, not your page’s slug - something like
359db456….perstat.io. That is deliberate: the token proves you control the
zone, while a predictable slug would prove nothing.
Worth knowing before you tidy up DNS later: a domain pointed at the slug host instead of the token host still serves correctly, because delivery keys off the Host header. Only re-verification would fail. Verified domains stay verified, so this stays invisible until the day somebody re-verifies. If you ever need to, put the CNAME back on the token target from the domain’s card first.
Subscribers
Section titled “Subscribers”Email subscriptions are double opt-in: signing up sends a confirmation mail, and the address only joins the list once that link is followed. Nobody is on your list who did not confirm - the subscriber list shows the confirmation timestamp, so a pending address is visible as pending.
Subscribers are notified when an incident opens and when it is resolved, and every mail carries a one-click unsubscribe link backed by its own token. You can also remove a subscriber yourself from the page’s subscriber list.
Included from Sentinel.
White-label
Section titled “White-label”From Command, rendered pages carry your brand only, including separate light- and dark-mode
logos, and omit the Powered by Perstat link. Without white-label, that footer link points to
perstat.io. See Plans and limits.
The part that matters
Section titled “The part that matters”The page is fed by the same record as your SLA evidence: the incident your subscribers saw and the incident your auditor reads are the same incident with the same boundaries. Maintenance windows show as banners while they suppress alerts, and the page carries an SVG badge and an RSS feed for the people who want the status in their own tooling.
