Where: Settings → Advanced → Status page (Your own status service section)
Open this page: admin.<your-site>/settings/status#your-own-status-service (replace <your-site> with your site address). If you don’t see it in the menu, turn on Show all settings on the Settings page.
Before you start
- You need permission to manage operations.
- A service is connected on the server by whoever manages your hosting. If none is connected, the page says so.
Steps
- Open Settings → Advanced → Status page.
- Find Your own status service.
- If it shows Connected, press Send a test to my status service. The page says "Test sent. It arrives within about 15 seconds."
- Read the numbers: Waiting, Failed for good and Last sent.
Good to know
- It says whether each message is signed: "Each message is signed." or "Messages are not signed."
- If the last message failed, the page shows the code. We keep retrying. See Background jobs.
