In the same form, you can add the different components of your system that you want to show the status for. For example, components can be website, web app dashboard, mobile app, API, important microservices and so on.

For each component, add the name and description.

You can choose a start date which is the start time from which the historical stats for the component will be shown.

Finally, choose the status for the component. At any time, a component can be in the following states - Operational, Degraded performance, Partial outage, Critical outage and Planned maintenance.
