GitHub Status Monitoring
devops
DepsDown automatically detects GitHub in your codebase and monitors its status page for outages. Get instant alerts via Slack, email, or webhook when GitHub reports incidents — so you know immediately if the problem isn't your code.
How we detect GitHub
When you connect your GitHub or GitLab repository, DepsDown scans for these patterns to identify GitHub as a dependency:
Package
@octokit/rest
Found in: package.json
Package
@octokit/core
Found in: package.json
Env Variable
GITHUB_TOKEN
Found in: .env
Env Variable
GITHUB_API_KEY
Found in: .env
What happens when GitHub goes down
We poll every 2 minutes
DepsDown checks GitHub's official status page every 2 minutes for incidents, degraded performance, or outages.
Instant alerts to your team
When a status change is detected, we send alerts to your configured channels — Slack, email, or webhook — within minutes.
Know it's not your code
Stop debugging blindly. When GitHub has an incident, you'll know immediately — saving hours of investigation.
