Some customers of my product, StatusGator, do this with our API. They can extract the outage data -- including the time when we detect the outage before its acknowledged. And then use that to get SLA credits.

Why would I trust you to report

Its great that your specific product does this, but as a whole I have to monitor the service separately to keep you honest (well not you specifically, I'm sure you are honest and do as much as you can to be honest, but not every company is), and of course to monitor the problems I have which you don't detect.

Gotta get a monitor for the monitor, then a manger for the monitors, and a manager to manage the managers of monitors.
I think that was sarcasm
