How It Works
NepalStatus uses evidence-based monitoring. Public status labels are computed from reports, automated checks, official signals, and incident workflow rules.
1) Inputs We Collect
- User reports from service pages and report forms.
- Automated HTTP system checks for services that have check URLs configured.
- Official provider signals and admin-created incident entries.
2) Evidence Window and Freshness
- Primary user evidence window: last 15 minutes.
- Fresh successful checks inside 10 minutes are treated as positive evidence.
- Repeated failed checks are stronger than one failed probe.
3) Public Status Rules
- No evidence and no configured check: Checking.
- No reports and healthy check: No current problems.
- Small report volume: Reports detected.
- Single failed/slow check: Possible problem.
- Combined strong signals or active incidents: Service disruption.
- Maintenance flags and official maintenance: Under maintenance.
4) Incident Lifecycle
- Incidents open when thresholds show meaningful disruption risk.
- Incident timelines are updated with investigation/resolution notes.
- Incidents resolve after evidence returns toward baseline.
5) Domain Check and Monitoring Requests
- One-time website checks are immediate and can be used for unknown domains.
- If a domain is not yet monitored, users can suggest monitoring or report an issue.
- Auto-approval queue can convert pending domains into tracked services with automated checks enabled.
6) Editorial Standards
- Editorial posts include experience, expertise, authority, and trust notes to support publishing quality.
- Contact submissions route to the support inbox for operations follow-up.
- NepalStatus is independent and not affiliated with monitored providers.
FAQ
Why can status be different from one user to another?
ISPs, DNS resolvers, regional routing, and app-layer issues can affect users unevenly.
Does one failed probe mean outage?
No. One failed probe alone maps to possible problem, not confirmed outage.
Can domain and report queues be automated?
Yes. Enable auto flags and run bin/cron/auto_ops.php every 2 minutes.
