Our SharpStream status page bolsters the visibility of and accessibility to information about the health of SharpStream's internal systems. The status page will allow you to see three months' worth of health monitoring and will provide you with a centralised hub where you can see if any incidents are currently taking place, or whether there are any maintenance scheduled.
We have carefully considered how to best represent incidents with varying levels of impact and complexity, allowing us to provide you with the information you need. In this article, we will provide a brief overview of the systems that we monitor as well as your options for subscribing to incidents taking place.
You can find our status page at https://status.sharp-stream.com
