Overview

AppSloth Status Pages provide real-time monitoring of your endpoints and a public-facing status page for your customers. The system automatically checks your endpoints every 5 minutes and maintains an uptime history, making it easy to communicate service status to your users.

​
Setting Up Endpoints

Through the AppSloth Dashboard, you can easily configure endpoints to monitor. Each endpoint can be configured with:
ConfigurationDescription
NameA display name for the endpoint (e.g., “API Health Check”, “Authentication Service”)
SchemeChoose between HTTP or HTTPS
HostnameThe host to monitor (e.g., “api.example.com”)
PathThe specific path to check (e.g., “/health”, “/status”)
PortOptional port number if not using standard HTTP/HTTPS ports
Public VisibilityWhether this endpoint should be visible on your public status page
AuthenticationOptional bearer token authentication for secured endpoints

​
Best Practices for Endpoints

When setting up your endpoints:
  1. Health Check Endpoints: Create dedicated health check endpoints that return a 200 status code
  2. Response Time: Keep your health check endpoints lightweight to ensure accurate monitoring
  3. Authentication: Use bearer token authentication for sensitive endpoints
  4. Public vs Private: Only make endpoints public that are relevant to your customers
  5. Meaningful Names: Use descriptive names that your customers will understand

​
Public Status Page

Each project automatically gets a public status page at https://status.appsloth.com/[project-id]. Your status page includes:
  • Real-time status of all public endpoints
  • 90-day uptime history
  • Current incident information
  • Historical incident records

​
Customization Options

Through the dashboard, you can customize your status page:
  1. Branding
    • Add your company logo
    • Set custom colors to match your brand
    • Add a custom domain (Enterprise plan)
  2. Component Groups
    • Group related endpoints together
    • Create logical service categories
    • Set custom labels for each group
  3. Metrics Display
    • Configure which metrics to show
    • Set custom thresholds for status indicators
    • Choose between percentage or time-based uptime display

​
Incident Management

When issues occur, you can create incidents through the dashboard. Each incident can:
  • Be linked to specific affected endpoints
  • Include status updates over time
  • Show investigation progress
  • Provide resolution details
The status page automatically updates to reflect current incidents and their status.
