Status pages
Keep your customers in the loop with a sleek status page. Build trust with transparent communication on incidents and maintenance periods.
Status pages are a great way to keep your users in the loop. They are a public page that displays the status of your monitors, and any incidents or maintenance periods that are currently ongoing. Status pages built with Phare are extremely fast and carbon efficient!
Creating a status page
You can create an unlimited number of status pages for all your projects. Choose which monitoring data you want to display, and customize the look and feel of your status page to match your brand. Allow Phare a few seconds to generate an SSL certificate for your status page, and you’re good to go! The status page can be customized at any time.
Phare domain
All status pages possesses a unique *.status.phare.io domain name, protected by an SSL certificate.
Custom domain
You can host your status page on a custom domain. This is a great way to keep your brand consistent across all your services. To set up a custom domain, you need to create a CNAME record in your DNS settings that points to cname.status.phare.io.
| Type | Name | Target |
|---|---|---|
| CNAME | status.example.com | cname.status.phare.io |
The domain name needs to be configured properly for Phare to generate a valid SSL certificate and activate HTTPS on your status page, which can take a few minutes.
Once your custom domain is verified, the Phare domain (*.status.phare.io) associated to your status page will automatically redirect to your custom domain.
Custom domain with Cloudflare DNS
If you are using Cloudflare DNS, you need create the CNAME record with the DNS-only mode (uncheck proxy status) as shown on the following screenshot:
Custom domain with Bunny.net
Hello there fellow Bunny.net enjoyer!
Because Phare also uses Bunny.net for sub-domain management, an extra security step is required on your end to allow us to generate an SSL certificate. Don’t worry though, it’s a quick and easy process!
- Navigate to your Bunny.net support hub and open a new support ticket.
- Select the DNS department and write a message similar to the following with the custom domain you want to use:
Hello Bunny.net team,
I’m using Phare.io to host a status page on my subdomain status.example.com, and they need your authorization to generate the SSL certificate. Could you please allow them to do so?
Thank you for being awesome!
- Wait about 5 minutes for the ticket to be processed by one of their great support agents.
Once the validation is done, you can configure the CNAME record as shown on the following screenshot:
