Fields as shown on a Status Page

Setup DNS
After you save your page, you are presented with a CNAME target to point your domain at our system.

To confirm that your DNS is configured correctly, use dig
from the command line or Google's DNS toolbox.
➜ ~ dig +short status.example.com aabbccddeeff.sp-production.firehydrant-customer.com.

After you complete this step, FireHydrant provisions a TLS certificate and your page will be live.
Authenticated Status Pages
You can limit the audience of your status page to your employees or other groups of customers. This is an enterprise feature. Contact support@firehydrant.com for more information.
