But it doesn&amp;#x27;t automatically show issues because it could be at the customer level or subset of customers, or subset of customers if they are in region foo in AZ bar, on service version zed vs zed - 1. So they chose not to display issues for subsets.&lt;p&gt;I do agree it would be nice to have logins for the status page and then get detailed metrics based on customerid or userid. Someone start a company to compete with statuspage.</text></comment>
