IsDown + ServiceNow

Give Your ITSM Workflow the Vendor Context It Needs

IsDown detects vendor incidents and routes them into ServiceNow, automatically.

Automatic Incident Creation

Vendor outages become ServiceNow incidents, automatically

When a third-party vendor goes down, IsDown creates an incident in ServiceNow with full context: affected services, regions, severity, and timeline. No manual ticket creation.

  • Auto-create incidents when vendors go down
  • Include affected services, regions, and severity
  • Auto-resolve when vendors recover
  • Enrich CMDB incident records with vendor data
Early Detection

Know about vendor outages before your users do

  • Detect outages before official vendor announcements
  • Proactive incident response, not reactive firefighting
  • Independent monitoring with multiple sources
  • Real-time status changes, not delayed reports

  • Incident records are incomplete for compliance audits. No vendor context in CMDB.
With IsDown + ServiceNow

  • IT responds before end users report problems.
  • Full vendor context in every incident record: service, region, severity, timeline.
  • Complete audit trail for DORA and compliance requirements.
Use Cases

How teams use IsDown + ServiceNow

Route vendor outages into your ITSM workflow without lifting a finger.

Enterprise IT

Automatic vendor incident creation

When AWS, Microsoft 365, or Salesforce has an outage, IsDown detects it and creates a ServiceNow incident with full vendor context. Your ITSM team knows the root cause is external before they start debugging internally.

Service Desk Teams

Proactive communication to end users

When a vendor degradation starts, IsDown creates the incident in ServiceNow before the helpdesk queue spikes. Your service desk can post proactive updates instead of fielding hundreds of "is X down?" tickets.

Compliance Teams

DORA vendor monitoring requirements

DORA requires monitoring of ICT third-party providers. IsDown continuously monitors your vendor dependencies and documents every incident in ServiceNow, giving your compliance team a complete audit trail.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is IsDown different from just bookmarking vendor status pages?

Vendor status pages are updated by the vendor, often 20-45 minutes after an outage starts. IsDown detects outages independently through service checks, typically alerting you before the vendor posts anything.

Which services does IsDown monitor?

IsDown monitors 6020+ services including AWS, Azure, GCP, Stripe, GitHub, Salesforce, Datadog, and more. If a service has a public status page, we likely monitor it.

Does IsDown create incidents in ServiceNow automatically?

Yes. When IsDown detects a vendor outage, it creates an incident in ServiceNow with the affected service, severity, and timeline. You can configure which vendors trigger incidents and customize the templates.

How fast does IsDown detect vendor incidents?

IsDown typically detects incidents 20-45 minutes before the vendor's own status page is updated. Your IT team can respond before end users notice the problem.

Does IsDown support DORA compliance requirements?

Yes. IsDown provides continuous monitoring of ICT third-party service providers and documents every vendor incident in ServiceNow, supporting DORA's vendor risk management requirements.

What happens when a vendor resolves their incident?

IsDown automatically updates the ServiceNow incident to resolved when the vendor recovers. The entire lifecycle is handled without anyone touching the ServiceNow console.

Can I control which vendor outages create ServiceNow incidents?

Yes. Configure which vendors and severity levels trigger incident creation. Only route issues that actually affect your organization. Separate incidents from scheduled maintenance.
