Status pages are slow. We're not.
Cloud providers are slow to update their status pages. Sometimes by minutes, sometimes by hours. Your users feel the impact long before any official acknowledgment shows up.
ServiceAlert.ai polls 284+ official status pages, RSS feeds, and APIs every 5 minutes. We also watch for user reports and community chatter that often surface 10–30 minutes before the provider says anything. We call these Early Signals.
The result: a dashboard that shows you not just what providers say is happening, but what's actually happening.
How we catch outages before the status page admits there's a problem.
We poll StatusPage.io APIs, RSS feeds, and PagerDuty pages for provider-confirmed incidents, component statuses, and maintenance windows.
Anyone can flag an issue from any service page with one click. When reports spike for a service, that's usually the first sign something is wrong, even if the status page still says "operational."
We watch Reddit, Hacker News, and other communities for chatter about service problems. A spike in "is X down?" posts usually shows up well before the provider updates their status page.
For services on StatusPage.io, we pull full incident timelines: status progressions, affected components, and resolution details. You see the whole story, not just a colored dot.
Official status tells you what the provider has acknowledged. Early Signals tell you what's actually happening on the ground. You see both, per service, on one page.
Every 5 minutes, we poll 284+ official status pages, APIs, and RSS feeds. User reports and social signals come in continuously.
We match official statuses with Early Signals per service. If user reports are spiking but the status page still says "operational," you'll see both. Flap detection filters out noise so you only hear about real incidents.
When something changes, we notify you through email, Slack, Teams, Google Chat, or Discord. You pick which services and severity levels matter. Cooldowns prevent the same alert from hitting you twice in a row.
Status pages lag. Social media overreacts. User reports have bias. We combine all three so each one covers the others' blind spots.
Early detection that creates alert fatigue is worse than no detection at all. We use thresholds, flap detection, and cooldowns so every notification earns your attention.
Every data point on your dashboard traces back to a source you can verify: an official status page, a user report count, or a social mention. Free tier, no tricks, plain pricing.
