Getting Started

With the world becoming more dependent on internet and internet becoming more risk-prone and fragile, ensuring uninterrupted availability of services can be a real challenge.

Component Status: Provides the status or info about the health of the component. Component status can accordingly be set as Operational, Under Maintenance, Degraded Performance, Partial Outage, or Major Outage.

Incident: An incident represents an issue in one or more components. Updates about an incident can be communicated via status page and the users can also be notified regarding the updates via email or SMS.
