Create an Application
An application in Monitorca represents a single project or product. Each application gets its own status page, set of services, and event history.
Open the dashboard and click New Application in the top-right corner of the Applications tab.
Enter a name for your application (e.g. "Acme Platform" or "Staging API").
Submit the form. Your application is created instantly with a unique status page URL on status-page.orca-uptime.com.
Update Service Status
Keep your users informed by updating the status of individual services. You can do this from the dashboard or programmatically via the API.
From the Dashboard
Select an application and open the Services tab.
Click a service to expand its detail row. Use the status dropdown to select the current state — Operational, Degraded, Partial Outage, or Major Outage.
The status page updates in real time. No save button needed — changes are applied immediately.
Via the API
Use the Ping endpoint to set a service's status programmatically. This is ideal for CI/CD pipelines, health-check scripts, or monitoring integrations.
Create an API key from .
Send a POST request to /api/ping/{applicationId}/{serviceId} with a status field. See the API docs for full details.
Customize Your Status Page
Make your status page match your brand using the Page Editor, custom logos, and theme colors.
Page Editor
Open an application and navigate to the Settings tab.
Click Page Editor to open the drag-and-drop layout builder. Rearrange sections — header, services, uptime charts, incidents — by dragging them into the order you want.
Toggle visibility on individual sections to show or hide them on your public status page. Click Save Layout when you're done.
Logo & Theme Colors PRO
In the application settings, use the Logo section to upload your company logo. It will appear at the top of your status page.
Use the Theme Colors swatch pickers to set primary and secondary colors. These control the header, accents, and status bar colors on your page.
Add a Custom Domain PRO
Serve your status page from your own domain (e.g. status.yourcompany.com) with
automatic SSL certificate provisioning.
Open the application's Settings tab and find the Custom Domain section.
Enter your domain (e.g. status.yourcompany.com) and save.
Add a CNAME record in your DNS provider pointing your domain to cname.orca-uptime.com.
Add the TXT verification record shown in the dashboard. Once DNS propagates, Monitorca will verify ownership and automatically provision an SSL certificate.
Add Team Members
Invite colleagues to your organization so they can manage applications, update service statuses, and handle incidents.
Navigate to the Users tab in the dashboard sidebar.
Click Invite User and enter their email address. Choose a role — Admin for full access, or Member for standard operational access.
The invited user will receive a link to join your organization. Once accepted, they'll appear in your team roster and can begin working immediately.
Group Services by Region PRO
Service groups let you organize services into logical categories — by region, environment, product area, or however your infrastructure is structured.
Open an application and go to the Services tab.
Click Manage Groups to create groups such as "US East", "EU West", or "Staging". Name them however makes sense for your setup.
Assign services to groups using the group dropdown on each service row. Services without a group remain ungrouped at the top.
On the public status page, services will be displayed under their group headings, giving visitors a clear, organized view of your infrastructure.
Correct Status History
Made an accidental status update? You can delete individual service updates to correct the historical record shown on your status page.
Select the application and navigate to the Services tab.
Click on the service to expand its history. You'll see a timeline of every status change.
Click the delete button next to the incorrect update. The entry is removed and the uptime histograph recalculates automatically.
Automatically Archive Events
Resolved events are automatically archived after a configurable period, keeping your active event list clean while preserving history.
Open an application and go to the Events tab.
Events that have been resolved are automatically archived based on their resolved timestamp. Archived events move out of the active list but remain accessible in the event history.
To view archived events, use the filter controls at the top of the Events tab. You can search, filter by type (incident or maintenance), and toggle between active and archived.
