Six performance metric graphs for a web application: "API requests" shows stable request counts, "API response time" fluctuates with spikes, "Ingest throughput" varies with an upward trend, "Ingest performance" has peaks under 0.4 seconds, "Notifications throughput" demonstrates volatility, and "Notifications performance" maintains a steady average time around 0.18 seconds, all over 15-minute intervals. Options to edit queries suggest customizable monitoring. — Gain insights into your errors, application logs, and other event streams with a powerful query language and flexibile visualizations.

Django Status Pages

Keeps your customers informed during an outage

Shows your live service status
Builds trust with your users
Works with your domain

Learn more about Status Pages

An uptime monitoring status page for a web application showing current performance metrics and recent availability history. The interface displays "App" with "Last checked 2 minutes ago" alongside key performance indicators: 77ms average response time and 99% uptime over the past 7 days. The 24-hour timeline for March 21 is predominantly green (indicating normal operation) with a small red segment near the end signaling a recent outage. Supporting this are two data visualizations: a response time graph showing fluctuations between 60-90ms over the past week, and a week overview with daily uptime bars showing complete availability from March 15-20, with only March 21 showing partial downtime represented by a red section at the bottom of its otherwise green status bar. — When an uptime check fails, we alert you and update your status page automatically.
