Is it Datadog, or is it you?
This page answers half the question. It tells you about Datadog. It cannot tell you whether your own site is experiencing an incident, and that is the part your users notice. UptimeRobot checks your websites, APIs and servers, and tells you when one of them does.
50 monitors for your own websites. No card.

How our status checker works?
We continuously monitor Datadog from our own infrastructure to give you an objective view of its status. Every every 5 minutes, we send a request to datadoghq.com from our primary location in the US and verify that the site responds correctly and within a normal time frame.
If the first check fails, we immediately repeat it from a second location to avoid false positives. When that second attempt also fails, we trigger a third confirmation check from a random global location. Only if all three checks confirm a problem, we mark Datadog as having an issue or a major outage.
Frequently asked questions
An incident has been reported for Datadog. See Latest incidents below for details.
An incident has been reported for Datadog, so the problem may not be on your side.
Try opening datadoghq.com from another browser, device, or network (e.g., mobile hotspot). You can also disable your VPN, clear DNS cache, restart your router, or check whether your internet provider is having issues. If the site works elsewhere, the problem is likely local rather than a confirmed Datadog outage.
We monitor datadoghq.com from our own infrastructure. When a check fails, we repeat the test from two other randomly chosen global locations to eliminate false positives. If these checks fail too, we mark Datadog as down.
A Datadog outage means our checks detected that datadoghq.com was not responding correctly after multiple checks from different global locations. This doesn't always mean every user is affected. Some outages are regional, some affect only certain features, and some appear as slow loading instead of a full failure.
Not exactly. UptimeRobot monitors datadoghq.com from the outside, so we can detect when something is wrong and show high-level symptoms such as connection timeouts, HTTP errors, or failed responses from specific regions.
However, we don't have visibility into internal systems, so we can't identify the exact root cause (like a failed deployment, database issue, or infrastructure problem).
What we can show you:
- When the issue started and when it was resolved
- How long the outage lasted
- Which regions were affected
- The type of error observed (for example, timeouts or HTTP status codes like 500 or 404)
For detailed root cause information and official updates, we recommend checking Datadog's official status page.
Yes, UptimeRobot lets you set up your own monitors for datadoghq.com so you get alerted the moment something goes wrong, and before your users notice. Our free plan includes 50 monitors with 5-minute check intervals. You'll also get details that this public status page doesn't show, such as response headers, response body, region-level results, and a full activity log.
Create a free UptimeRobot account and set up a monitor for datadoghq.com. You'll receive alerts via email, SMS, Slack, webhooks, and other integrations as soon as we detect an issue, and again when it's resolved.

Alternatively, you can check whether Datadog offers notifications on its official status page.
