Seen before the vendor said so

Why it matters

Status pages are updated by people, usually after an outage has already started. This page records the cases where the first sign came from outside: our own requests to the service from a server in Germany began to fail, or several visitors pressed "Not working", before the company's incident appeared. It is a statement about timing only, decided once by fixed rules when the incident is posted - the rules.

Limits

We check 35 large services ourselves, so the others can only be seen early through visitors' reports. Our check runs from one server in Germany; a network problem between us and the service can look like an outage, which is why it needs two failed rounds and why a round where most services fail is ignored. Leads under 3 minutes or over 3 hours are not counted. Something wrong? hi@brokentoday.com.
