Dashboards
ZeroDrop has three views: the overview, the detail page of each check, and the public global dashboard.
Overview
The overview is the home page of the console. It summarizes your whole account:
- The current status of each check:
ok,firingorunknown. - A latency sparkline, so you can see a trend without a visit to each check.
- Every check that is firing, at the top of the list.
Expand a row to see the result for each location on the same page.
Check detail
The detail page of a check shows everything that ZeroDrop knows about it:
- The result for each location (SFO, NYC, AMS and SYD): the latest status,
the response text (for example
200 OK), any error, and the time of the last result. - Latency over time as a chart. You can therefore compare a slowdown with your own events.
- 30-day uptime: the share of the period when the check was not in an open
incident. Time in the
unknownstate, and time before the check existed, count as up. A new or healthy check therefore reads 100%. - The past incidents of the check: when it fired, when it resolved, and the duration.
- For an HTTPS check, the TLS certificate details, with the days until expiry.
On this page you also edit the settings of the check, its consensus thresholds, and its notification channels.
The status colors
| Color | State | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Green | ok | Consensus says healthy. |
| Red | firing | Consensus says down. An incident is open. |
| Muted | unknown | Too few live locations for a verdict. |
Public badges
Any check can publish status badges in the style of shields.io. You can embed a badge anywhere, for example in the README of a project. Turn on Public badges when you edit a check. The detail page then shows three image URLs to copy:
- Status: up, down or unknown.
- Uptime: the 30-day figure.
- SSL: the days until the certificate expires.
Badges need no sign-in. They show only the name, status, uptime and certificate expiry of the check. Badges are off by default, and a check without badges returns nothing. A check therefore publishes badges only after you turn the setting on. When you turn the setting off, ZeroDrop stops serving the badges immediately.
The global dashboard
The global dashboard is a public page on the marketing site. It monitors the uptime of well-known internet services from the same four ZeroDrop locations. The list contains big-tech infrastructure, AI and developer APIs, social platforms, streaming services, and commerce sites.
The dashboard is a live demonstration of the platform. It is also a reference when a major service feels slow. It is read-only and needs no account. Your own checks stay private to your account.
