--- title: "Statuspage alternative that monitors | Logdash" description: "Statuspage does not check anything. You still need a monitor and the glue between them. Logdash runs the check and publishes the page from one monitor." url: https://logdash.io/alternatives/atlassian-statuspage --- # Atlassian Statuspage alternative for teams who need the checks too Statuspage does no monitoring of its own, so you are paying for the page plus whatever tool feeds it, while Logdash runs the HTTP checks and publishes the page from the same monitors. Statuspage is the default for good reasons. It is the page customers recognise, the component model matches how large systems are actually organised, and the subscriber list scales past numbers most tools ever see. It also checks nothing. Atlassian says so in their own docs: Statuspage does not do any direct monitoring of your websites or servers. Components change colour when a person clicks them, when an integration says so, or when something calls the API. The real stack is a checker, plus Statuspage, plus the glue between them, and the glue fails quietly. The token expires, the automation stops firing, and the page says everything is fine right through an outage. Logdash removes the middle piece. The HTTP monitor that decides your API is down is the same object the public page renders, and the Telegram or webhook alert goes out at the same moment. There is no integration to keep authorised. What you give up is real. Statuspage has email and SMS subscribers, audience-specific pages, component groups, scheduled maintenance and links into Jira, Opsgenie and PagerDuty. Logdash has a hosted page on a custom domain, and the same data as JSON for a page you build yourself. If your status page has thousands of subscribers and an SLA attached, stay where you are. ## The check behind the component health.js ```javascript import express from 'express'; const app = express(); app.get('/health', async (_req, res) => { try { await db.query('select 1'); res.status(200).json({ status: 'ok' }); } catch { res.status(503).json({ status: 'down', reason: 'database' }); } }); app.listen(3000); ``` 1. **Point a monitor at the endpoint** One URL, checked every 5 minutes on the free plan and every 15 seconds on Pro. Status code and response time are recorded from the first check, so you have history before you have a page. 2. **Publish the page** Add the monitor to a public status page and map your status subdomain to it. Nothing to authorise, no API token to rotate every year. 3. **Add the alert** Attach a Telegram channel to the monitor, then take the service down on purpose. The alert reaches your chat while the page is still repainting. ## Statuspage API alternative Statuspage already has a public API. Every public page serves JSON at /api/v2/summary.json with no key, and the REST API manages components and incidents with one. So the API alone is no reason to move. Logdash serves the same kind of public JSON at /v1/status\_pages/:id: overall status, uptime per monitor for 1 hour up to 90 days, 90 daily buckets and the last 100 checks. The difference is what ships on top of it. A typed client on npm, a status page component you copy into a React or Svelte app with one command, and a Next.js starter that deploys to Vercel in one click. For a page inside your own site, Statuspage hands you the data and leaves the rendering to you. terminal ```bash # Statuspage: public JSON for any page, no key curl https://metastatuspage.com/api/v2/summary.json # Logdash: the same idea, with the checks behind it curl https://api.logdash.io/v1/status_pages/your-status-page-id # What Statuspage does not ship: the page, as code in your app npx shadcn add https://logdash.io/r/react/status-page.json ``` ### Logdash vs Statuspage | Feature | Logdash | Statuspage | | ----------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | | Runs the checks | Built in, the monitor drives the page | None, you bring your own checker | | Moving parts between check and page | None | An integration or an API call you maintain | | Open source | AGPL-3.0, source on GitHub | Closed source | | Custom domain | Point your own domain at it | Point your own domain at it | | Notifying customers | None, alerts go to your team | Email, SMS and Slack subscribers | | Modelling a large system | A flat list of monitors | Component groups and audience-specific pages | | Incident workflow | None, the page shows check results only | Templates, maintenance windows, Jira and Opsgenie | | Status page in your own code | Public JSON, typed client, component, starter | Public JSON, the page is yours to write | ### When Statuspage is the better pick - Your customers subscribe by email or SMS and expect to be told. Logdash has no subscriber notifications at all. - You have components, groups and separate pages for separate audiences. That model does not exist here. - Your incident process runs through Jira, Opsgenie or PagerDuty and the page has to move with it. - Procurement already approved Atlassian. That is a real reason and it outranks most technical ones. ## What moving actually looks like Map each component to one HTTP monitor. A component with no check behind it is common, and worth knowing about. Publish the Logdash page on a subdomain and run both for two weeks. Before you move DNS, tell your subscribers, because that list does not come with you. ### Is there an open source alternative to Statuspage? Logdash is AGPL-3.0 licensed with the source on GitHub, and it runs the checks as well as the page. Cachet is the other common answer if you need something you can deploy yourself today. ### Does Statuspage monitor uptime? No. Atlassian states that Statuspage does not do any direct monitoring of your websites or servers. Components are updated by a person, by an integration or through the API. ### Can I move my Statuspage subscribers? No. Subscriber lists do not transfer between providers, and Logdash has no subscriber notifications, so give people notice on the old page well before you switch. ### What replaces the monitoring tool feeding Statuspage? The Logdash monitor is the checker. You drop the separate uptime tool and the integration, and the page reads from the same monitors that send your Telegram alerts. ### Is there an alternative to the Statuspage API v2? GET https://api.logdash.io/v1/status\_pages/:id returns a published Logdash page as JSON, with no key and open CORS. It is read-only, so unlike the Statuspage REST API you cannot post incidents through it. ## Keep reading [All alternatives](https://logdash.io/alternatives): One page per tool, each with the setup, the comparison and the case for staying where you are. [UptimeRobot alternative for founders stuck on the 5-minute free tier](https://logdash.io/alternatives/uptimerobot): Logdash checks HTTP endpoints every 5 minutes on the free plan and every 15 seconds on Pro, and puts the logs and metrics from the same app in the same dashboard, so upgrading buys you more than a shorter gap between pings. [Uptime Kuma alternative for people who do not want to run a server](https://logdash.io/alternatives/uptime-kuma): Logdash is the hosted version of what Kuma does for most people - HTTP checks, heartbeats, a status page and alerts - with no VPS, no container and no SQLite file to back up. [Pingdom alternative for a solo founder with four services](https://logdash.io/alternatives/pingdom): Logdash monitors four services on the free plan with 5-minute HTTP checks, a public status page and Telegram alerts, instead of an annual contract shaped for a company with a procurement process. [Uptime monitoring](https://logdash.io/features/monitoring): HTTP checks as often as every 15 seconds. When one fails, Telegram tells you before your users do.
