Public Status Pages & Incident Management

NorthDuty's reliability ops suite connects detected health findings, incident tracking, public status communication, and maintenance windows — so a signal can move into response without being copied by hand.

Turn live check data into a public status page your customers can trust.

Reliability tools in one place

Status pages, incident tracking, and maintenance windows work together to cover the full outage lifecycle — from detection to recovery to customer communication.

Public status page

Publish a customer-facing status page at a custom slug. Add components that represent your monitored services, enable the page, and customers can see current status, active incidents, and scheduled maintenance — no login required.

Incident management

Alert rule matches create incidents automatically. Subsequent alerts for the same rule update the incident's occurrence count instead of spamming your channels. Update title, status, severity, and summary as work progresses — from Investigating through to Resolved.

Detection-to-incident handoff

Open a concrete health finding from the Status page as a new incident. NorthDuty carries the detection source, recommended severity, title, and technical summary into the form so response starts with the evidence already attached.

Maintenance windows

Schedule maintenance windows with a name, start time, end time, and a reason. During the window, new alert notifications are suppressed so planned downtime doesn't trigger a flood of alerts. Active windows appear on the public status page.

Status components

Define the services shown on the status page — website availability, user journeys, or custom components. Incidents and maintenance windows link to affected components so customers see exactly which service is impacted.

Reliability operations, built into every project

When something breaks, two things need to happen: your team needs to know immediately, and customers need to be kept in the loop. NorthDuty closes both gaps from the same project settings screen — no separate status-page tool, no manual incident spreadsheet.

Alert rules fire the moment a threshold is crossed. The matched signal creates an incident automatically, deduplicates follow-up alerts so your team isn't spammed, and surfaces the incident on a public status page you control. Health findings on the Status page can also be opened directly as incidents with the source, severity, title, and summary prefilled. When you schedule maintenance, alerts are suppressed for the window and customers see the planned work listed on the status page.

Why unified reliability ops matters

Separate tools for alerting, incidents, and status pages add coordination overhead. NorthDuty keeps detection and customer communication in the same place.

How to set up reliability ops in NorthDuty

Use Status for detected findings and project settings for the public page, incidents, components, and maintenance windows — no separate account needed.

1

Create a public status page

Open project settings, go to Reliability ops, and fill in the status page title, slug, and description. Enable it to publish at /app/status/{slug}.

2

Add status components

Define the services on the status page — website availability, user journeys, or a custom component. These appear on the public page and link to incidents and maintenance windows.

3

Create an incident from a detected finding

From the Status page, choose a finding and open it as an incident. Review the prefilled source, severity, title, and summary, then publish the incident when it is ready.

4

Alert rules keep incidents updated

When an alert rule threshold is crossed, NorthDuty creates or updates an incident. Subsequent alerts for the same rule increment the occurrence count without sending a new notification.

5

Schedule maintenance to suppress alerts

Add a maintenance window with a start time, end time, and reason. Alerts that fire during the window are suppressed. The window appears on the public status page so customers know what to expect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about this monitoring feature and when teams should use it.

Does NorthDuty include public status pages?

Yes. Every project can publish a public status page at a custom slug. Add status components, and incidents and maintenance windows appear on the page automatically.

How does incident management work in NorthDuty?

When an alert rule threshold is crossed, NorthDuty creates an incident and records each subsequent match as an occurrence — deduplicating notifications instead of resending them. You can also open a concrete health finding as an incident from Status, then update it from Investigating through to Resolved.

How do maintenance windows suppress alerts?

When a maintenance window is active, NorthDuty suppresses new alert notifications for that project. The window appears on the public status page so customers can see planned work without interpreting it as an unexpected outage.

Can I create incidents manually?

Yes. You can create incidents manually from project settings, or start from a concrete health finding on the Status page and let NorthDuty prefill the source, severity, title, and technical summary.
