GitHub System Status - 9 Oct 2015 16:15
- colinbartlett 11y agoAs usual, I'm tracking this outage over at StatusGator: https://statusgator.io https://statusgator.io. If you want alerts on this sort of thing, it can post to your Slack and the like. The most interesting thing to me about GitHub outages is how many services it affects. I always get notifications for at least 20 or 30 services which all proactively and automatically post warnings about their GitHub integrations potentially being down. A lot of services integrate with GitHub!
- toomuchtodo 11y agoDo you just monitor the service status boards? Or do monitor the actual services? I ask because several services will frequently be down or impacted for at least 30-60 minutes before they update their status boards, which by then is far too late to take action.
- colinbartlett 11y agoOnly the status pages. I have a hope that having more eyeballs on the status pages will increase the provider's responsiveness to posting on them, because you are absolutely right that some do it as an afterthought. The use case that brought me to create this was a bug I was dealing with involving the Facebook API. After hours of debugging I decided to check Facebook's status page and realized they had long prior published an issue they were experiencing.
- kitwalker12 11y agothanks for that recommendation. Just signed up. Was kind of annoying that once signed up you don't get that cool way of adding multiple integrations like on the homepage
- philip1209 11y agoHas the status page itself stopped updating? The daily app server availability was updating for a few minutes, but has not updated for about ~20 minutes.
- tedunangst 11y agoWhat am I looking at? "All systems operational"
