Downdetector alternative

The Downdetector alternative that actually monitors your stack

Downdetector is great at one thing: telling you when a major consumer service is getting a wave of user complaints. But that is crowd-sourced sentiment, not monitoring. It will not watch your API, your checkout, or the specific providers you depend on, and it cannot alert you on your own services. We do real probing, official status-page reconciliation, and alerts on the things you actually run.

• Official status-page reconciliation, to catch outages a provider has not admitted yet.
• A native app with ping, traceroute, and reachability, plus alerts that need no account.
• Programmable primitives and an open API.
