Status pages shouldn't need any manual intervention.

I setup mine to automatically monitor my website from another service provider in a different datacenter. That way I know if the server is down for any reason and it updates automatically.

If my server goes down, within 5 minutes the status page is red. End of story.

If it's backup the status page goes green again.

Manual status pages are a mistake.
