Setup & Configuration

How to create and configure your first status page in PulseGuard.

Creating a status page is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to get started.

Creating a Status Page

1. Navigate to Status Pages

   From your dashboard, go to the “Status Pages” section in the sidebar.

2. Create New Page

   Click on the “Create New Status Page” button.

3. Fill in Basic Information

   • Name: A descriptive name for your status page (e.g., “PulseGuard Service Status”).
   • Slug: A unique URL slug for your page (e.g., pulseguard-status).
   • Description: A short description of the services being monitored.
4. Save and Continue

   Click “Save” to create the page. You will be redirected to the configuration options.

Configuration Options

Once your page is created, you can configure it to your needs.

Appearance

Customize the look and feel of your status page.

• Upload your logo.
• Set primary and background colors.
• Add custom CSS for advanced styling.

Custom Domain

To use your own domain, you’ll need to configure a CNAME record in your DNS settings to point to your PulseGuard status page URL.

1. Add your domain: Enter your custom domain (e.g., status.yourcompany.com) in the settings.
2. Configure DNS: Go to your DNS provider and create a CNAME record pointing from your custom domain to the PulseGuard URL provided.
3. Wait for propagation: DNS changes can take some time to take effect.

Components

Components represent the individual parts of your service that you want to display on your status page. You can link monitored domains or devices to these components.

• Click “Add Component” to create a new one.
• Give it a name (e.g., “Main Website”, “API Endpoints”, “Customer Dashboard”).
• Optionally, link it to an existing monitor in PulseGuard. The component’s status will then be automatically updated based on the monitor’s status.

Notifications

Allow your users to subscribe to updates via email or other channels. You can configure which notification options are available.
