StatiBeat glossary

Use this page when a guide uses a StatiBeat term you do not recognise.

Status page​

The public page where customers can see current service health, incidents, planned maintenance, and recent history.

Component​

A customer-facing part of a service, such as an API, website, region, or product area. StatiBeat can also call these hierarchy items.

Hierarchy​

The parent-and-child structure that explains how your products, regions, services, and components fit together.

Incident​

An unplanned problem that affects a service or component. Incidents normally include a timeline of updates and finish with a resolution.

Maintenance​

Planned work that may affect a service or component for a known period.

Custom view​

A filtered version of a status page that shows only the services relevant to one customer, team, product, or business unit.

RSS feed​

A machine-readable stream of status events that can be followed in a feed reader or connected to another system.

Viewer SSO​

Single sign-on for people who need to view a private status page. It lets the page use your organisation's identity provider instead of a shared password.

A one-time link sent to you by email so you can manage your subscription or other self-service preferences without creating a separate password.

Beat​

A monitoring check that watches a customer-facing path, such as a website, API, certificate, browser journey, or network target. A Beat can alert operators or help create a customer-facing update.

Workspace​

The StatiBeat environment where your organisation's users, pages, settings, and plan are managed.

MCP​

Model Context Protocol. In StatiBeat's Hosted MCP guide, it is the connection that lets a compatible AI client use approved StatiBeat workflows.
