# Status Page
> Monitor your endpoints and communicate service status with AppSloth Status Pages
## 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:
| Configuration | Description |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `Name` | A display name for the endpoint (e.g., "API Health Check", "Authentication Service") |
| `Scheme` | Choose between HTTP or HTTPS |
| `Hostname` | The host to monitor (e.g., "api.example.com") |
| `Path` | The specific path to check (e.g., "/health", "/status") |
| `Port` | Optional port number if not using standard HTTP/HTTPS ports |
| `Public Visibility` | Whether this endpoint should be visible on your public status page |
| `Authentication` | Optional 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.
