The Right Workflow

The best setup uses both:

  1. 1. UptimeSignal detects the outage — We check your endpoints every minute and alert you immediately when something breaks.
  2. 2. Statuspage communicates it — You update your public status page to inform customers while you fix the issue.
  3. 3. UptimeSignal confirms recovery — We detect when your services are back and alert you so you can update Statuspage.

When to Use What

Use UptimeSignal when...

  • You need to know the moment something goes down
  • You want automated detection, not manual checks
  • You need response time and uptime history

Use Statuspage when...

  • You need to communicate status to customers
  • You want a public-facing status page
  • You need to manage scheduled maintenance notices

Start with monitoring

You can't communicate outages if you don't detect them first.
