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

  1. A region reports a failure

  2. A confirmation check is run after a short delay

  3. 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
