Moving from Statuspage to OpenStatus

What OpenStatus's importer carries over, what it leaves behind, and any help it offers switchers.

To OpenStatus

Official guide openstatus.dev · Tools: OpenStatus Statuspage importer

Moves: Status page name, description, subdomain/slug, custom domain (full); Components and component groups (full); Incidents with full update history (full); Scheduled incidents (full); Email subscribers, including per-component subscriptions (partial). openstatus.dev

Doesn't move: Monitor configurations (Statuspage's API doesn't expose them; components import as static); Metrics configurations; SMS, Slack and webhook subscribers. openstatus.dev

Watch out for:

  • Re-running the import duplicates incidents and maintenances; components, groups and subscribers dedupe by name. openstatus.dev
  • The docs caution that imported incidents and maintenances cannot be bulk-deleted after import. openstatus.dev
  • Imported components show as static until linked to a monitor; Statuspage monitor configs never transfer. openstatus.dev

Official guide openstatus.dev · Tools: OpenStatus status page import

Moves: Components and component groups (full); Incidents (historical and active) with updates and component impact (full); Maintenances (scheduled and completed) (full); Email subscribers (partial). openstatus.dev

Doesn't move: Monitors from Statuspage (only Better Stack and Checkly monitors import); Non-email subscriber types. openstatus.dev

Watch out for:

  • Plan limits on components and monitors can block the import; the preview warns before anything is written. openstatus.dev
  • A partial import keeps already-imported resources; re-running retries only failed phases, but incidents and maintenances are not deduplicated on re-import. openstatus.dev

Switching help: New OpenStatus workspaces get a 14-day Starter plan trial with no credit card; after the trial the workspace drops to the free Hobby plan (1 monitor, 1 status page with 3 components, 10-minute check interval) unless a card is added. openstatus.dev
