Status Boards
Real-time visibility into your system health and service status
Exemplar
How this capability fits the Exemplar platform—not a standalone point tool, but part of how your org runs production and talks about it.
Why Exemplar
During incidents, trust breaks when customers and internal teams get different stories from Slack, email, and ad-hoc status pages.
Exemplar treats status as a first-class part of your platform: one place to reflect component health, incidents, and maintenance so communication matches reality.
What Exemplar delivers
Live boards that reflect the services and dependencies you care about, with history subscribers can rely on—not a generic widget bolted onto another tool.
Status sits next to monitoring and incidents in Exemplar, so updates are grounded in the same signals your engineers already use.
How teams use it
Model components and relationships in the Exemplar console, then drive board updates from incidents, maintenance windows, and check results.
Publish subscriber-facing views when you need external communication; keep internal boards aligned with on-call and escalation paths as they mature.
