Dashboard Overview
The PulsAPI dashboard is the central hub where you monitor everything your team depends on. Rather than cycling through dozens of individual status pages, you get a single, auto-updating view of every service you care about.
Boards
A board is a personalized collection of service cards. Every PulsAPI account starts with one default board — My Board — which populates as you subscribe to services from the catalog.
Boards give you a scoped view: only the services you have subscribed to appear, so there is no noise from services that are irrelevant to your stack.
Teams on the Pro and Enterprise plans can create shared boards visible to all team members. See Teams for details.
Status cards
Each service on your board is represented by a status card. A card shows at a glance:
| Element | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Service name & logo | Which provider you are looking at. |
| Current status badge | One of six color-coded states (see below). |
| Sparkline chart | A compact 24-hour availability trend line. |
| Affected components | A count of degraded or down components, if any. |
Color-coded statuses
PulsAPI normalizes every provider's status into six standard states:
| Status | Color | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OPERATIONAL | Green | Everything is working normally. |
| DEGRADED | Yellow | Performance issues or elevated error rates. |
| PARTIAL_OUTAGE | Orange | Some components or regions are unavailable. |
| MAJOR_OUTAGE | Red | Widespread or complete service failure. |
| MAINTENANCE | Blue | Scheduled maintenance in progress. |
| UNKNOWN | Gray | PulsAPI has not yet received a status update. |
Live status counts
At the top of the dashboard, a summary bar displays the total number of services in each status category. This lets you answer the question "Is anything broken right now?" without scanning every card.
Automatic updates
The dashboard refreshes status data automatically — you never need to manually reload the page.
- Status data is polled on a short interval from every monitored provider.
- When a status change is detected, the affected card updates in place.
- The summary bar recalculates instantly.
If you want to be notified of changes even when you are away from the dashboard, configure Alerts & Notifications.
