FlareWatch

Custom Domains

FlareWatch supports two modes:

  • Manual DNS: you add the CNAME record yourself.
  • Automatic DNS: the wizard creates/updates the CNAME via Cloudflare API when permissions allow.

Manual DNS record format

The wizard shows the exact record preview. It is a CNAME that points to:

txt
<status-page-worker>.<workers-subdomain>.workers.dev

Example:

txt
Type: CNAME
Name: status
Target: flarewatch-status-abcd1234.mysubdomain.workers.dev
TTL: Auto

Automatic DNS mode

Automatic mode works only when FlareWatch can find and manage the target zone in your Cloudflare account. It uses the DNS and Zone access from your Cloudflare authorization, so there's nothing extra to set up. The zone must be in the connected account.

If automatic setup fails, switch to manual DNS mode and add the CNAME record yourself.

Verifying

After DNS updates propagate, open your custom domain and confirm it serves the status page over HTTPS.
