How does Component Grouping work

[Bertrand Mbanwi]

If I have a couple of endpoints and I decide to group them, do they all get an overall status based on each component status? For example, if I let's say I have 3 components in a group, and all of them have the same Operational Status, Does the group which holds those three components have its own status that reflects the three components as operational, and if so, what happens when one of the components status changes, let's say to degraded or major outage, does it also affect the group overall status or is it just for each component?

My second question is which plan supports component grouping? I already have a process setup for individual components, but I've been asked to inquire and upgrade on the solution since some of our API's have multiple endpoints that capture different services, and we want to be able to capture all at once through component grouping and be able to get an overall status for each group based on its subcomponents.

Hey Bertrand, 
Thanks for reaching out to Atlassian Community!

When you group components in Statuspage, the overall status of the group is determined by the statuses of the individual components within it. Here’s how it works:

•Operational Status: If all components within a group are marked as “Operational,” the group itself will also display an “Operational” status.

•Status Change Impact: If one of the components in the group changes its status (e.g., to “Degraded Performance” or “Major Outage”), this will affect the overall status of the group. The group will reflect the most severe status among its components. For instance, if one component has a “Major Outage,” the group will display that status, even if the other components are still operational.

This means that the group status acts as an aggregate representation of the individual statuses of the components within it, always reflecting the most severe status at any given time.

Component grouping is available in the Business and Enterprise plans of Statuspage. These plans allow you to group multiple components together and manage their statuses as a collective group. If you’re looking to upgrade your plan to support component grouping, you would need to consider upgrading to one of these plans.

I hope this helps!
