My inspiration for this: https://its.uq.edu.au/serviceview
Want to be able to communicate outages, degraded services, known issues. A status page like above is a possible way to achieve this, along with email / other mass text communication methods.
I see some potential for FreshService to do some great things with this which I think should be considered:
- Scheduled maintenance can be written up as a release and automatically go onto a status page (a checkbox for it to go up)
- "Outage" or "Degraded" (and possibly others) incidents and problems can go onto the status page selectively
- Link to CIs for full histories of the above. Possibly do some funky things with relationships (show pretty graphs on what's affected).
- Track uptime, integrate with reporting, allow the service status to show resolved issues
- Announcements can integrate with all of the above
