> Which things should not be green?

The broken ones is how I usually do it.

The automation doesn't need to do that, it doesn't need to analyse the situation. It needs to communicate "Hey. Our systems have seen this and have pinged humans, bear with" rather than "nope even though half the internet is down rn, it's all good baby"

Make a green tick a blue questionmark or something. It doesn't even need to admit fault, it just needs to not be useless. My goal visiting the page is to get a link I can send clients "Updates will be posted here". Nothing more.

Also if you're hosting your monitoring system on the same system it's monitoring you've just completely missed the point. At least use a different region within your cloud provider, better would be completely different provider. I'd even go as far as using different domains/TLDs to host the page if I was Google sized
