IsDown pulls data from Open University's status page every few minutes and collects user-reported issues. Refresh the page to see if there are any updates.
This chart displays the number of user-reported issues over the past 24 hours, grouped into 20-minute intervals. It's normal to see occasional reports, which may be due to individual user issues rather than a broader problem. We only consider an issue widespread if there are multiple reports within a short timeframe.

IsDown and DownDetector help users determine if a service 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. The integration allows us to provide more details about the outage, 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.
