Statuses & Logs
Track meaningful monitor state changes through clean, actionable snapshots.
Upstat provides status tracking based on real-world availability across regions. Monitors report their state as Up, Partial, or Down, and key transitions are logged with rich snapshots for clear, context-driven analysis.
Status Definitions
Monitor status is calculated by aggregating check results across all assigned regions:
- Up – All regions are healthy
- Partial – One or more regions are failing, but at least one is healthy
- Down – All regions are failing
This evaluation ensures status reflects the overall health of your service, not just isolated regional issues.
How Status Is Determined
A region reports a failure
A confirmation check is run after a short delay
Upstat then checks all selected regions and determines the current status:
- Down – All regions are failing
- Partial – Mixed failures and successes
- Up – All regions are healthy again
This confirmation-based model avoids false positives and improves reliability.
Event Log
The Event Log captures a snapshot whenever a monitor changes status. Each entry contains:
- The new monitor status
- Timestamp of the change
- Snapshot of check results from each region at the time of transition
These snapshots allow you to immediately understand the nature and scope of a problem—without needing to dig through repetitive, raw output.

Summary
- Monitor status is based on real-time regional evaluation
- Transitions trigger snapshot entries in the Event Log
- Snapshots show exactly what caused the status change
