# OutageDeck OutageDeck monitors official status feeds for cloud and software providers, then shows current incidents and sends change-based alerts. It helps individuals and teams determine whether a service problem is external before troubleshooting their own systems. - Findings24: - Site: - Preços: Freemium - Categorias: Observabilidade de IA ## O que é OutageDeck? OutageDeck is a provider-status monitoring service for checking whether a vendor outage may be affecting your stack. It reads official status sources, displays current provider states and open incidents, and keeps the check time and direct source link visible for verification. Shareable stack boards can contain up to 12 vendors and are represented by a link rather than a stored board. Users can receive email alerts on the free plan and configure Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, generic webhook, and email destinations on paid plans. OutageDeck also exposes provider and incident information through a public JSON API, status badges, RSS feeds, Markdown status walls, and an MCP server for coding-agent queries. ## O que OutageDeck pode fazer? ### Official status and incident views Shows each selected provider's published status, open incident count, latest check time, and a direct link to the official source. A read failure is not treated as a provider outage. ### Shareable stack boards Build a link-based board for up to 12 vendors, including services such as GitHub, Vercel, Supabase, and Sentry. The selected stack is not stored and can be bookmarked or shared in an incident channel. ### Change-based outage alerts Compares each ingestion run with the previous known state and alerts on new incidents, incident status changes, resolutions, and provider status changes. Alerts do not fire for historical incident backfills. ### Multiple delivery channels Email alerts are available on free accounts. Paid plans support Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, and generic HTTPS webhooks, with destination-specific setup and test delivery. ### Developer access and outputs Provides a public JSON API, status badges, RSS feeds, Markdown status walls, and an MCP server for querying provider status from compatible coding-agent workflows. ### Scoped and verifiable webhook events Webhook payloads use a versioned JSON envelope, include incident or provider-status data, and carry an OutageDeck-Signature HMAC-SHA256 header so receiving systems can verify delivery authenticity. ## Casos de uso ### Check a suspected vendor outage When an application starts failing, open a stack board to compare the current official status of its selected cloud, monitoring, database, and developer-tool providers before changing application code or infrastructure. ### Notify an incident channel Configure a Slack, Teams, or Discord destination so a team receives provider incidents and status changes in the channel it already uses for operational work. ### Route events into automation Send signed webhook payloads to an HTTPS endpoint and process versioned incident or provider-status events in internal automation, provided the endpoint acknowledges deliveries with a 2xx response within 10 seconds. ### Monitor vendors for clients or squads Paid alert rules and custom providers support separate destinations and scopes for teams, clients, or services that need different subsets of a broader vendor stack. ### Query status from developer tooling Use the JSON API, RSS, Markdown status wall, or MCP server to expose current provider verdicts in a dashboard, documentation page, feed reader, or coding-agent workflow. ## Perguntas frequentes ### How often does OutageDeck check provider status feeds? OutageDeck re-reads the official status feed of tracked providers about every 10 minutes. Each provider view shows its check time, so users can judge how current the displayed result is. ### What causes an alert to be sent? Alerts are triggered when an ingestion run detects a change: a new incident, an incident status change, an incident resolution, or a provider-level status change. Historical incidents added during a backfill do not trigger alerts. ### Which alert destinations are supported? Email is available on every account. Paid plans add Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, and generic HTTPS webhooks. Slack, Discord, and Teams use their respective webhook or workflow URLs, and each can be tested after setup. ### Can alerts be limited to particular services or regions? Yes. A subscription can watch all providers or selected providers, and can be narrowed with provider-specific services or regions where the provider's feed supplies that separation. A narrowed subscription only receives matching incidents and deliberately skips provider-level status changes. ### How can webhook deliveries be verified? Each generic webhook includes an OutageDeck-Signature header containing a timestamp and HMAC-SHA256 signature over the timestamp and raw request body. The receiving system should verify the signature before parsing the JSON payload. ## Informações rápidas - **Product type**: Provider status monitoring and outage alerts - **Status data**: Official provider status feeds - **Stack board limit**: Up to 12 providers - **Free plan**: Email alerts for up to 5 providers; public status pages, API, badges, and RSS - **Paid alert channels**: Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, webhook, and email - **Refresh cadence**: About every 10 minutes
