GitHub Issues status page says the service is up, but I'm having issues. What's wrong?

There may be several reasons for that: An outage that hasn't been communicated yet via the GitHub Issues status page. Some local issues with a small group of accounts on the service side. Technical issues on your side, or problems with your software or ISP. A misconfiguration or problem on your side. We recommend contacting GitHub Issues customer support while checking everything on your side.

About our GitHub Issues status page integration

GitHub Issues (Collaborative platform for software development and version control) is a a DevOps solution that StatusGator has been monitoring since March 2015. Over the past over 11 years, we have collected data on on more than 2,768 outages that affected GitHub Issues users. When GitHub Issues publishes downtime on their status page, they do so across 12 components using 4 different statuses: up, warn, down, and maintenance which we use to provide granular uptime metrics and notifications.

If you're wondering, "Is GitHub Issues down?", or need to know its current status, we've got you covered. Our platform tracks every reported outage, performance issue, and maintenance window to ensure you're informed. Whether GitHub Issues is experiencing a problem now or has recently resolved one, our detailed history keeps you updated.

More than 3,400 StatusGator users monitor GitHub Issues to get notified when it's down, is under maintenance, or has an outage. This makes it one of the most popular DevOps services monitored on our platform. We've sent more than 948,800 notifications to our users about GitHub Issues incidents, providing transparency and peace of mind. You can get alerts by signing up for a free StatusGator account.

Early Warning Signals

If we detect a potential GitHub Issues outage or other issue before it was reported on the official status page we will send an Early Warning Signal notification to StatusGator subscribers. We can often detect issues before they are officially acknowledged by the provider, giving you a head start on resolving any potential problems.
Down Notifications

If GitHub Issues is having system outages or experiencing other critical issues, red down notifications appear on the status page. In most cases, it means that core functions are not working properly, or there is some other serious customer-impacting event underway.
Warning Notifications

Warn notifications are used when GitHub Issues is undergoing a non-critical issue like minor service issues, performance degradation, non-core bugs, capacity issues, or problems affecting a small number of users.
Maintenance Notifications

GitHub Issues posts separate notifications for planned maintenance work. StatusGator will notify subscribers when GitHub Issues enters a pre-planned maintenance window, keeping you up to date.
Status Messages

When GitHub Issues posts issues on their status page, we collect the main headline message and include that brief information or overview in notifications to StatusGator subscribers.
Status Details

When GitHub Issues has outages or other service-impacting events on their status page, we pull down the detailed informational updates and include them in notifications. These messages often include the current details about how the problem is being mitigated, or when the next update will occur.
Component Status Filtering

Because GitHub Issues has several components, each with their individual statuses, StatusGator can differentiate the status of each component in our notifications to you whenever a particular component is down. This means, you can filter your status page notifications based on the services, regions, or components you utilize. This is an essential feature for complex services with many components or services spread out across many regions.
