Here are some of the descriptions for the different states.

  • Operational

    • The service is operating normally without a known problem affecting users.

  • Minor Outage

    • The service may experience intermittent downtime, but a workaround is available.

    • Customers may encounter minor inconveniences due to intermittent service interruptions.

    • A workaround is readily accessible to minimize the impact.

    • Some performance degradation may be noticeable, but overall usability remains feasible.

  • Major Outage

    • Extensive service disruption with a critical impact on customer data.

    • A significant portion of customers are unable to access the customer-facing service.

    • Core functionality experiences severe disruptions, significantly impacting regular operations.

99% of the time, the qualification of the outage state is up to the service provider and IsDown limits to map it to its internal models.
