Is Datadog down right now?

No. Our checks are finding no problems with Datadog right now. That verdict is live, and the banner at the top of this page carries it too. We re-check Datadog continuously using its official status feed, direct network probes and reports from visitors, stopping at the first check that gives a clear answer, and the page updates itself as soon as anything changes. A green verdict does not rule out a fault affecting only some users or regions.

The problems visitors report most often on this page are website / app down, can't log in, API errors, can't connect, slow or laggy, 5xx error pages, no notifications and webhooks not firing. Those are the options the report button offers for Datadog, chosen for how this service actually fails rather than a generic list, and the "user reports" chart above breaks down which ones people are picking right now.

Our checks run from one place on the internet, so a fault limited to your region or network can be real while our probes succeed. With Datadog specifically, Datadog runs separate regional sites such as US1, US5 and EU1, and your organisation lives in exactly one, so an incident on another does not touch you. Ingestion, monitor evaluation and the web app are also separate, so dashboards can load while the data behind them lags. That is why this page reports what it observed rather than declaring the service healthy, and why reports from other visitors count toward the verdict.

For Datadog, check the agent on one of your own hosts with the agent status command. A healthy agent that cannot submit points at Datadog or your egress path; an unhealthy agent points at that host. A problem that follows you across networks and devices is very unlikely to be yours.

If this page shows evidence of problems, the fault is most likely on Datadog's side. Specifically: treat silence as suspect rather than reassuring. If monitors are not evaluating, no alert does not mean no problem, so watch your own systems directly until ingestion catches up. Do not delete and recreate monitors to make them fire. Reporting it here helps other people see they are not alone.

Continuously, around the clock. Datadog publishes a machine-readable status feed, so our first check reads it directly and reports what Datadog itself says. If that feed is unreachable we fall back to a direct HTTP probe, then an ICMP ping, then reports from visitors. The verification tier box on this page names whichever check produced the verdict you are reading, so you can see how direct the evidence is.

Yes, at status.datadoghq.com, and it is linked further up this page. That is Datadog's own account of their service and it is the place to look for their estimate of a fix. We read it where we can, but we publish our own observations beside it rather than only repeating theirs, because an operator's status page can lag a problem their users are already hitting.

No. status.buzz is an independent monitoring site operated by LuzLab LLC, with no connection to Datadog or datadog.com. It reads publicly available endpoints and status feeds, and publishes what it observed. For account or billing problems you need Datadog's own support, not us.
