As a weekend project, I created a service to monitor the status of many services (Github included) in one single page http://isserviceup.com/ . You can register with your Github account and star the services you use to receive notifications through Slack when their status change. It's all free and open source, let me know your thoughts!
remote: Resolving deltas: 100% (6/6), completed with 6 local objects.
remote: Unexpected system error after push was received.
remote: These changes may not be reflected on github.com!
remote: Your unique error code: 13f721d92e29fbb811443a19a44a49e0
I also received this message when pushing. Didn't notice at first but I checked the repo and my chart and noticed neither had updated. It was a very spooky moment because I rely very heavily on Github.
Running my side project StatusGator, I have a good view of 200 different service status pages and there are about 20 services now showing down or warning notices.
A quick spot check seems most of those are related to GitHub, however. Often times when AWS or Heroku or similar hosting service posts downtime you can see 30% of the services I monitor go down at all once.
- Great if there was more granularity for some services. Down/warning for all of AWS is not useful. Better if one could scope to region or even better region + service.
- The distinction between warn/down is not entirely clear. Also, it's not clear if it varies between services.
- Great with Slack integration!
- Instead of only selecting by drop-down or search, it would be great with a wall-like page with name + icon/logo, to make it easier to quickly find the service.
- Good with historic stats, makes it easier to choose between down/warn (to know how 'noisy'i it'll be).
Wow, thank you so much for the feedback. I'm often surprised how hard it is to extract honest, actionable feedback from people even with nice personal emails.
Some of these features are already in development!
This and parent commenter's link paint _completely_ different pictures - do either of you know why?
The Akamai link shows Europe red hot, with the UK at "~17% attack", whatever that means. Norse Corp link shows nothing of the sort, UK so negligible as to not even make the list.
Github's status page shows past month uptime, but I would be interested in seeing past year. It seems to me that Github has had a couple of major outages recently. Then again, they stand out more than normal operation.
i learned this trick as well and now our "hosting-alerts" channel has RSS feeds from github,aws,google,heroku,ubuntu(security list) and quite a few more
statuspage.io sites have rss/atom feeds in the 'subscribe' options as well.
