About Instatus
Instatus is a hosted status page service with uptime monitoring. It helps teams tell customers when a service is down and post updates while the problem is being fixed.
What it does
Instatus checks your websites, APIs and servers and raises an alert when a check fails. Teams can post and update incidents on a public status page. The service can also receive alerts from monitoring tools, such as Datadog, PagerDuty and Prometheus, and create incidents from them automatically.
Key features
- Website, API, ping, TCP, UDP and DNS monitors
- Public status page for customers
- Incident updates shared with your team
- Email and webhook incident creation
- Integrations with many monitoring tools
Who it's for
Support, operations and engineering teams that need to communicate service status clearly. Startups and software companies that want a status page without running their own system are a good fit.
Pricing and good to know
