Have you ever run into an issue and wondered, "Is it just me, or is everyone experiencing this?" I think we’ve all been there.
When services are running smoothly, nobody thinks twice about them. But when something unexpected happens, having clear and timely information can make all the difference. That's why we've introduced the Status page on Open Source Edge (OSE) for IBM. A single place where you can quickly check the health of some key systems and services - GitHub Actions, DevPI and Open Source Edge for IBM. Here, you can view any ongoing incidents and see how these services have performed over time.
You can access the Status page here to view current service health, incident updates, and historical uptime information.
A Quick Snapshot of What's Happening
All services are currently operational, reflecting a healthy and stable system state.
The first thing you'll see on the Status page is an overview of the current state of all the monitored services.
If everything is operating normally, you'll be greeted with a bright green checkmark indicating that all services are operational. If there's a disruption or a critical issue, the page highlights it clearly so you don't have to spend time guessing what's going on.
You'll also see the current system time, making it easy to understand exactly when the displayed information was last refreshed.
The goal is simple; in just a quick glance, you'll have the information you need without digging through messages or support channels.
Stay Updated on Active Incidents
The Status Overview card gives you a quick snapshot of what's happening right now, including active incidents and the latest updates.
When an issue occurs, the Status page provides more than just a warning message.
You'll be able to see:
- Which service is affected.
- A brief description of the issue.
- Updates from the team as the situation progresses.
Think of it as a live timeline of events. Instead of wondering whether a problem is being investigated, you'll be able to follow updates in one place and stay informed as new information becomes available.
Looking Back Beyond Today
💡Did you know?
The Status Page doesn’t just show current health but it also preserves historical incidents, so you can spot patterns over time.

A visual 90-day service history makes it easy to spot trends, identify disruptions, and understand overall reliability at a glance.
Sometimes you don't just want to know what's happening right now, you want to know how reliable a service has been over time. So here, you'll find a visual 90-day history for each monitored service, making it easy to see how things have been running over time.
The color-coded indicators help you quickly distinguish between normal operation, service disruptions and critical incidents, making it easy to spot trends and identify issues at a glance.
Hovering over any day reveals details, giving you an understanding of what happened and when.
It's a simple way to turn historical uptime data into something that's easy to explore and understand.
Built for Transparency
The Status page is publicly accessible, meaning you can view it even when you're not signed in.
Whether you're checking on a reported issue, monitoring service reliability, or simply looking for reassurance that everything is running smoothly, the information is available whenever you need it.
No more guessing whether an issue is on your end or ours. No more wondering if that slowdown last week was a one-time occurrence or part of a larger pattern. It's all there! Clearly presented, easy to understand, and available whenever you need it.
Note: As the Status page resides within Open Source Edge for IBM (OSE), access to the page is tied to the operational status of the OSE portal. During major outages in OSE, availability of the Status page may be impacted.
One Place for Service Health Updates
The new Status page is designed to provide clarity when it matters most.
So the next time something seems off, a build fails unexpectedly, or a service isn't behaving the way it should, there's no need to piece things together from multiple sources. Instead of waiting for an official announcement or wondering whether the issue is local or widespread, you can visit the Status page to see:
- Current service health
- Active incidents and updates
- Historical uptime trends
- Service-specific status information
After all, when something isn’t working the way it should, knowing what's happening is often just as valuable as knowing when it will be fixed.
