# Better Stack for HollaEx

Better Stack offers a nice Status Page feature alongside the HTTP health checker. It has a [free tier](https://betterstack.com/pricing), which is a great way to get onboarded. It's a service that [status.hollaex.com](https://status.hollaex.com/) uses too.

You can sign up through [this link](https://betterstack.com/users/sign-up). Please go through the signup process completely.

## Sign up Please continue by filling up the details.

Select "Uptime monitoring" and "Status page" for the usage.

Select "Slack" or similar if you also want to use Better Stack as an active HTTP health checker and get downtime notifications. But it's okay to skip if you only need a simple Status Page.

Feel free to skip the test notification.

Please select the free tier and continue.

Awesome. Now you have a Better Stack account!

## Set up Health Checker {% hint style="info" %} Before continuing, please remove the sample health checker. (most likely set to google.com) {% endhint %} In order to set up a status page, you should create an HTTP health checker first. This will be a source of origin for the status page to track whether your exchange is up. Additionally, you can get notifications if something happens to it, so it's a win-win! Please set the URL to your exchange's API health URL. In most cases, it's `https:///api/v2/health`.

Create the monitor once it's all set, and you'll see it from the main page.

## Set up Status Page Jump to the "Status pages" menu through the sidebar, and click "Create status page".

Fill in the values based on your branding.

You can set a custom domain, something like `status.myexchange.com`. Please type in the custom domain you want, and set the CNAME record by following the website.

Next, jump to the "Structure" section. You can select the health checker you made above to continue.

Select the health checker, and name the resource based on your branding and needs. Please hit the "Save changes" button at the bottom once you are done.

Now jump to the status page URL, and you'll see a nice status page like the one below. Feel free to customize it from here, it's all yours 😉
