Fastly continuously monitors the performance and status of our global network and the health of all related services to keep you informed. For general updates (i.e., scheduled maintenance, hardware upgrades, traffic re-routing, or service interruptions) we post notices on our public service status page at https://www.fastlystatus.com/.

To protect your security posture, we also offer a private instance of our status page. By signing in with your Fastly credentials, you can view sensitive details regarding security product maintenance and active incidents, such as Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. This secure channel ensures you receive the actionable intelligence needed to mitigate risks without revealing potentially exploitable information. A complete, filterable history of past events is also available at https://www.fastlystatus.com/incidents/.

Status page views

The status page displays the operational status of Fastly's primary products and services, including current incidents, scheduled maintenance, and a history grid of recent activity. This information is available to anyone at https://www.fastlystatus.com/ without authentication.

Customers with single sign-on enabled who log in with their Fastly credentials can also access Private Status Updates, an additional tab that appears in the history grid after authentication. Private status updates displays components that are not included on the public status page:

• Security components. Components related to security operations, such as bot mitigation and DDoS activity. These components are excluded from the public status page for security purposes.
• Account and support components. Components related to account services, such as billing systems and support availability. These components are not displayed on the public status page because they do not affect Fastly's delivery or security services.

To access private status information for your account:

1. Using any browser, navigate to https://www.fastlystatus.com/.
2. Click Log in.
3. Enter your Fastly credentials to authenticate.
4. In the history grid, click the Private Status Updates tab.

Viewing current and past status information

The status page includes details about the current status of Fastly's network and incidents or events, as well as summarized views of the past status and event history. Both public and private components use the same status indicators, history grid, and filtering controls described in this section.

What the status indicators tell you

Indicator icons appear on the incident history grid and on all status page notifications that confirm the current operating status of the network and service components or various events that could be occurring at a specific time.

Status indicator icon	Status description
	Normal. Everything is operating normally. No events or incidents related to network or service components have been identified or announced.
	Informational. We've posted information for general awareness. No network and service components are impacted.
	Maintenance. We've scheduled or are actively performing maintenance on the Fastly global network or one of its service components.
	Degraded. We've identified something that has caused a degradation of a portion of the Fastly network or service component. Customer services are being delivered but at reduced capacity.

Viewing summaries of current and past events

Summary posts related to the current status of any active incidents appear at the top of the Fastly service status page. Fastly also keeps track of all past statuses, displaying the most recent of them on the main status page, which is organized into the following sections:

• Current status. When incidents or events are in progress, you'll see them summarized in the Current Status area. This section is hidden when all conditions are normal.
• History Grid. The history grid displays the individual, daily status of each of Fastly's network and service components and their sub-components for today and the previous six days using indicator icons for each date. Click the plus icon next to any component to expand the view to display indicators for all sub-components. Click the arrow icons to the right and left of the dates to view previous weeks at a glance. If you are logged in, the history grid includes a Private Status Updates tab with additional components.
• Scheduled Maintenance. The Scheduled Maintenance area displays summaries of active and future maintenance work. Click on a maintenance post title to view its full history and details. To review past maintenance work, click Incident History at the top of the page.

Older, past history for incidents and scheduled maintenance as well as full details about each specific event are available at https://www.fastlystatus.com/incidents/.

Viewing detailed information about specific events

You can display the full report details of these events by clicking on their title in any area of the service status page. Detailed event and incident reports include the current status of the event or incident, the components impacted, and the full text of all updates that have been published. Timestamps appear for every update posted.

You can subscribe to notifications about any specific incident or event, past or present, by clicking the Subscribe button at the bottom of any detailed report.

Filtering displayed history information

On the main service status page, the filter controls appear immediately below the history grid. With them you can control which components, statuses, and types of history event information to display in both the history grid and the past history summaries for incident and maintenance events.

• Component filters. Filter by component by selecting the specific component from the All Components menu. Filter specific sub-components by clicking the plus icon next to the component name and then selecting a specific sub-component from the items that appear.
• Status filters. Filter by status type by selecting one of them from the Any Status menu.
• Event type filters. Filter by event type by selecting one of them from the All Types menu.

On the full incident history page you can also filter by event date and order in addition to component, status, and event type:

• Date filters. Filter by date by clicking the Date range selector, selecting the specific date or date range for events, and then clicking Apply.
• Event filters. Filter by order by clicking the Sort by menu and then selecting either Newest or Oldest.
