What it is
Name
i
The name shown on the public page and in this list. Use whatever your customers will recognise: a service name or a server name, whichever they know.
Status
i
The status shown right now. A Pharos check overwrites this on its next run, except Under maintenance, which stays until you clear it. With Manual only it stays exactly as you set it.
Operational
Degraded performance
Partial outage
Major outage
Under maintenance
Group
i
The service this appears under on the public page. Ungrouped is published too, as a row of its own without a heading.

Description
i
One sentence under the name on the public page. Write it for the customer reading it during an outage.
Shown under the name on the status page. Keep it in customer language.
Link
i
Optional. Turns the name on the public page into a link that opens in a new tab. http and https only.
Tags
i
Only returned by the API, for scripts written against Cachet. Nothing inside Pharos reads them.
Comma separated.
How it is checked
Leave on Manual only to set the status by hand
Source
i
Who sets this status. Checked by Pharos: Pharos tests it itself, over HTTP, TCP or a heartbeat from your job. Set from outside: Uptime Kuma, n8n or a script writes it through the API. Manual only: you set it here. Pharos marks a service as set from outside by itself the first time the API or Uptime Kuma writes its status.
HTTP or TCP check
Heartbeat from your job
Uptime Kuma
API or webhook (n8n, scripts)
Upstream provider
Manual only
Check
i
HTTP GET fetches the URL and counts 200 through 399 as up. TCP port only opens a socket: for mail, databases, anything without a web page.
HTTP GET
DNS record
TCP port
Interval (seconds)
i
How often to look, minimum 30 seconds. Two failures in a row turn it red and open an incident; the first success turns it green, and three in a row close the incident.
Target
i
What to contact: a full URL for HTTP, host:port for TCP. Only used by a Pharos check. Heartbeat generates its own address, and the other sources ignore this.
A URL for HTTP, host:port for TCP. Leave empty for the other sources.
Expected HTTP text
Optional. A successful response must contain this exact text.
DNS record type
A
AAAA
CNAME
MX
TXT
Expected DNS value
For MX use priority and hostname, for example 10 mail.example.net.
