Public Status Page

With CA Nimsoft Cloud Monitor (formerly WatchMouse), it is easy to provide your customers and end users with a public status page—an on demand portal that provides the real-time status of the performance and availability of your Web properties.

In addition to current monitoring data, you can use your public status page to post announcements, annotate current issues, and optionally set up a special host name (CNAME) so people can access the status page using your domain name, for example status.yourdomain.com. With CA Nimsoft Cloud Monitor, you get an easy to control channel through which you can transparently inform visitors about the status of your sites and Web services.
