  2. Click the Structure tab.
  3. Expand the resource you want to change or add a new one.
  4. Choose a new widget from the Widget type dropdown menu.
  5. Click Save changes.

Available widget types

Some advanced widget types are only available for status pages using the Modern design. To change the design, go to Status pages, select your page, and find the option in the Settings tab.

Current status only

The plain widget is the simplest option. It displays only the current operational status of a resource (e.g., "Operational", "Degraded", "Downtime"). It's ideal for a clean overview when you want to minimize visual clutter.

Historical status

The history widget shows the current status along with a visual history of its uptime over a set period (from 7 to 365 days). This gives visitors a quick glance at recent reliability.

Intraday historical status

The intraday_history widget provides a more detailed view of the resource's uptime history (from 7 to 365 days). It visualizes the proportions of downtime, degraded performance, and maintenance for each day, making even brief service disruptions clearly visible.

With status history & chart

Available for monitors and log-based charts, the response_times widget displays a chart of response times over a selected period. It's useful for showing performance trends and identifying latency issues.

Chart only

Exclusively for log-based charts, the chart_only widget shows only the chart without any additional status indicators. This is perfect for embedding custom metrics or data visualizations directly onto your status page.
