How OutageHQ Works
OutageHQ keeps you informed about the services you rely on. Here's how we detect outages and keep you updated.
Automated Health Checks
Our system regularly checks each monitored service to verify it's responding and accessible. We measure how quickly each service responds to determine its health.
Status Classification
Based on the check results, each service is classified as Operational, Degraded, or Down. This gives you a clear, at-a-glance view of service health.
Real-Time Updates
Status changes are pushed to your browser automatically. No need to refresh the page — you'll see updates the moment they happen.
Response Time Tracking
We track response times over time and display them as charts, so you can spot performance trends and identify when services are slowing down.
Community Reports
Anyone can report an outage anonymously with a single click. No account needed. These community reports supplement our automated monitoring.
Historical Data
We retain monitoring data so you can review uptime history, response time trends, and past incidents for each service.
