Been down for a couple hours for me.

    Servers could still be up and responding to pings, yet backend databases could be down.

    Or it could be a caching problem with the status service.

    It’s bad ways of handling your status page but it happens.

      It’s also a business decision. Many times companies will massage their verbiage and have a plan in place before they even change the status to “investigating” simply to appease when they have SLAs. It’s stupid, but that’s often the reason.

        It depends on the services, but in the end it’s pretty easy to spoof handshake packets to see if a service on a server is still running.

        nmap is a great example.
