Status Page Checks

What are Status Page Checks?

Status page checks monitor third-party provider status pages on your behalf. Instead of manually checking whether AWS, Cloudflare, or Stripe are having issues, Alert24 watches their status pages and alerts you when they report problems.

This is essential because your service's availability often depends on third-party providers. When Cloudflare has an outage, your CDN goes down. When AWS S3 has an issue, your file storage is affected. Status page checks give you visibility into these external dependencies.

How They Work

1. Alert24 maintains a registry of 40+ providers with their official status page URLs and feed formats
2. When you create a status page check, you select a provider from this registry
3. Alert24 periodically reads the provider's status page feed (RSS, JSON, or HTML)
4. When the provider reports an incident, Alert24 detects it and updates your linked service
5. You get alerted through your notification channels

For providers that don't have a standard status feed, Alert24 uses AI-powered extraction to parse status information from any public status page.

Setting Up a Status Page Check

1. Navigate to Monitoring > Add Check
2. Select Status Page Check
3. Browse or search the provider registry
4. Select the provider (e.g., "Cloudflare")
5. Optionally select specific services within that provider (e.g., "Cloudflare CDN", "Cloudflare Workers")
6. Link the check to a service in your Alert24 account
7. Click Create

Custom Status Pages

If the provider you depend on isn't in our registry, you can add a custom status page:

1. Select Custom Status Page when creating a check
2. Enter the provider's status page URL
3. Alert24 will attempt to automatically detect and parse the status page format
4. If automatic detection works, the check is set up immediately
5. If not, you can configure the parsing rules manually

Alert24's AI-powered parser can read most Atlassian Statuspage, Instatus, and custom status page formats.

What Happens When an Issue is Detected

When Alert24 detects that a provider is reporting an incident:

1. Service status update — The linked service's status is automatically updated (e.g., from Operational to Degraded Performance)
2. Alert notification — You receive an alert via your configured channels
3. Status page update — If the affected service is on your status page, your customers see the updated status
4. Incident correlation — You can link the provider's incident to an incident on your own status page

When the provider resolves their incident, Alert24 detects the resolution and restores your service status to Operational.

Why This Matters

Most teams find out about third-party outages one of two ways:

1. Their customers tell them — The worst way to learn about a problem
2. They notice it themselves — Slow, unreliable, and not scalable

Status page checks give you a third, better option: Automated, immediate detection. You know about the issue as soon as the provider reports it — often before your customers notice.

This also helps with incident communication. Instead of guessing "is it us or our provider?", you have concrete data to share with your team and customers.
