IsDown and Datadog Integration for vendor outage correlation

Early Detection

Earlier than the vendor admits

IsDown detects outages independently. Often before the vendor updates their status page. Your Datadog monitors fire before the vendor announcement.

Alerts before vendor acknowledgment
Coverage across 6320+ services

Postmortems

Historical data for postmortems

Every vendor incident is stored with timestamps and affected components. Pull it into your postmortem timeline alongside Datadog traces to reconstruct exactly what happened.

Why IsDown + Datadog

Stop Context-Switching Between Tools During Incidents

Without IsDown

Your team switches between Datadog and vendor status pages trying to figure out if the problem is yours or theirs.
Vendor outages are invisible in Datadog. Latency spikes trigger your monitors but the root cause is a mystery.
Postmortems lack vendor context. You know when your service degraded, but not when the vendor incident started.

With IsDown + Datadog

Vendor status appears natively in your Datadog dashboards.
Instant correlation: your metrics + vendor status on one timeline.
Postmortems include full vendor incident data.
Your Datadog monitors fire before the vendor acknowledges the issue.

Vendor status data in the platform your team already lives in.

Platform Engineering

Build a vendor health dashboard in 10 minutes

Your team manages 30+ vendor dependencies. Rather than context-switching to check status pages, vendor health is a metric in Datadog like any other. Build a vendor health dashboard in minutes.

Incident Review

Reconstruct incident timelines with vendor data

After a major incident, your team reconstructs the timeline in Datadog. IsDown's historical vendor data shows exactly when the vendor started degrading, down to the minute, so you can correlate with your own service behavior.
