Early Outage Detection: Get Notified Before Outages Become Official Incidents

We've just launched one of our biggest feature updates yet - Early Outage Detection. This fundamentally changes how IsDown works, transforming it from a reactive monitoring tool into a proactive early warning system.

What's New?

🚨 Early Warning Notifications

Instead of waiting for services to officially confirm outages on their status pages, IsDown now detects early warning signs and alerts you immediately. This gives you a critical head start - often hours before official confirmations.

🎯 Granular Control

• Bulk enable/disable across all your monitored services with one click
• Individual service-level control in your severity filtering settings

📢 Complete Notification Coverage

We're releasing this feature across multiple notification channels:

• Available now: Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Email and SMS
• Coming next: Datadog, PagerDuty, Rootly, Incident.io and all the others

Why This Matters

Before

You learned about outages when everyone else did - after services posted official incidents.

Now

You get alerted the moment IsDown detects anomalies, giving your team precious time to:

• Investigate potential issues before they impact customers
• Prepare customer support responses proactively
• Get ahead of the incident curve instead of reacting to it

The Bottom Line

This isn't just a feature addition - it's a paradigm shift. IsDown now competes with enterprise monitoring platforms for early detection capabilities while maintaining its unique advantage of monitoring 4,400+ third-party services in one place.

Available now for all users. Enable early warnings in your profile settings or per-service in your notification preferences.
