## What you'll learn

- Create and customize a status page with your brand name, colors, and logo.
- Group synthetic checks into components that reflect the services customers use.
- Set failure and recovery thresholds so brief disruptions don’t trigger repeated status changes.
- Track automatic incidents and post updates for affected services.
- Connect a custom domain using DNS verification and a CNAME record.

A status page shows customers which services are operational, what’s affected by an outage, and how an incident is progressing.

In this video tutorial, you’ll build a status page inside OpenObserve using synthetic checks to monitor service availability. Follow along to customize your branding, organize checks into customer-facing components, and configure automatic incident tracking. You’ll also learn how to post incident updates and connect your own domain.
