Status Pages
Visibility
Public, private, or password-protected — control who can see a status page.
Not every status page should be open to the world. WatchFor gives each page three visibility modes.
🌐 Public
Anyone with the link can view it. Great for a customer-facing status page, and it exposes an RSS feed for subscribers.
🔒 Password-protected
Public URL, but visitors must enter a shared password. Good for partners or staging environments.
🙈 Private
Only your organization can see it — useful for internal dashboards.
Choosing a mode
- Public — your main, branded status page for customers.
- Password-protected — a page you want to share selectively without making it fully open.
- Private — an internal overview that never leaves your organization.
Password-protected and private pages don't expose an RSS feed — feed readers can't carry a password, so the feed is only available on public pages.
You can run several pages with different visibility at once — for example a public customer page and a private internal one.
