Frequently Asked Questions

How does GitHub Actions interact with the GitHub API?

GitHub Actions integrates with the GitHub API to automate repository tasks, trigger workflow runs, and manage job execution. Developers can use the REST API and GraphQL API to query job statuses, retrieve logs, and debug workflows efficiently.

How do status checks impact GitHub Actions workflows?

Required status checks ensure that workflows meet predefined conditions before allowing a merge. If a check fails, GitHub prevents the PR from merging until the issue is resolved. These checks enhance code quality, repository security, and workflow reliability.

How do pull requests work with GitHub Actions?

When a pull request (PR) is created, GitHub Actions can automatically validate code changes. This includes running tests, checking repository configurations, and enforcing branch protections like required status checks and automatic approvals before merging.

How can I resolve common GitHub Actions failures?

Common failures in GitHub Actions may be due to misconfigurations, missing dependencies, API rate limits, or permission restrictions. Checking workflow runs, adjusting configuration settings, and reviewing log outputs in the Actions tab can help diagnose and fix problems.

How does the GitHub Actions dashboard help manage workflows?

The dashboard provides a central view of running workflows, failed jobs, and execution logs. Developers can track workflow progress, restart failed jobs, and analyze logs for debugging to improve automation and reliability.

How can GitHub Actions improve deployment processes?

GitHub Actions automates deployment by integrating with cloud providers, running custom scripts, and validating commit histories. Using webhooks and environment protection rules, workflows can be triggered automatically upon code changes, ensuring seamless rollouts.

Is GitHub Actions down today or just slow?

Currently there's no report of GitHub Actions being slow. Check on the top of the page if there are any reported problems by other users.

How IsDown compares to DownDetector when monitoring GitHub?

IsDown and DownDetector help users determine if GitHub is having problems. The big difference is that IsDown is a status page aggregator. IsDown monitors a service's official status page to give our customers a more reliable source of information instead of just relying on reports from users. The integration allows us to provide more details about GitHub's Outages, like incident title, description, updates, and the parts of the affected service. Additionally, users can create internal status pages and set up notifications for all their third-party services.

IsDown offers an easy way to monitor GitHub with maximum flexibility

Major Outages Notifications

IsDown monitors Actions for major outages. A major outage is when Actions experiences a critical issue that severely affects one or more services/regions. When GitHub marks an incident as a major outage, IsDown updates its internal status, the customer status page and dashboard. Depending on the customer settings, IsDown will also send notifications.

Minor Outages Notifications

IsDown monitors GitHub status page for minor outages. A minor outage is when Actions experiences a small issue affecting a small percentage of its customer's applications. An example is the performance degradation of an application. When a minor outage occurs, IsDown updates its internal status and shares that information on the customer status page. Depending on the customer settings, IsDown will also send notifications.

Outage Details

IsDown collects all information from the outages published in GitHub status page to provide the most accurate information. If available, we gather the title, description, time of the outage, status, and outage updates. Another important piece of information is the affected services/regions which we use to filter the notifications that impact your business.

Maintenance Feed

GitHub publishes scheduled maintenance events on their status page. IsDown collects all the information for each event and creates a feed that people can follow to ensure they are not surprised by unexpected downtime or problems. We also send the feed in our weekly report, alerting the next maintenances that will take place.

Component Filtering

IsDown monitors GitHub and all their 11 components that can be affected by an outage. IsDown allows you to filter the notifications and status page alerts based on the components you care about. For example, you can choose which components or regions affect your business and filter out all other outages. This way you avoid alert fatigue in your team.

Early Outage Detection

GitHub and other vendors don't always report outages on time. Our crowdsourced status platform helps you stay ahead of outages. Users report issues and outages, sharing details on what problems they are facing. We use that info to provide early signs of outages. This way, even without an official update, you can stay ahead of possible problems.
