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, firing or unknown.
• The locations that report for the check, next to the status: OK (4/4). A count below the total can put the check into unknown.
• The uptime of each check over the last 30 days. It is the same figure and color as the Uptime tile on the detail page. If the check has an uptime objective, a mark before the figure tells if the check meets it: ✓ when it does, ✗ when it does not. A missed objective shows in yellow, not red, because only time can bring the 30-day uptime back up. The checks page also shows the uptime.
• 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.

Four tiles at the top of the page give a summary:

• Uptime: the share of the last 30 days when the check was not in an open incident, with the same figure for the last 24 hours and the last 7 days. Time in the unknown state, time in a maintenance window, and time before the check existed count as up. A new or healthy check therefore reads 100%.
• P50: the median response time of all locations over the time range that the chart shows.
• Last incident: how long ago the last incident ended, and how long it lasted. During an open incident, the tile shows Open.
• Certificate: the days until the TLS certificate expires. If the locations see different certificates, the tile shows the one that expires first.

Below the tiles, the page shows:

• 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.
• 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

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.
