What UpButler measured

API edge is answeringHTTP 400 · 220 ms

One request without credentials to api.cloudflare.com every two minutes, from eu-central (one location, not a global view). An answer shows the edge, TLS and routing work. It does not prove that authenticated calls succeed. The probe is for Cloudflare as a whole, not for Cloudflare DNS specifically.

2026-07-130 of 1 days with an incidenttoday

Each bar is a day, coloured by the worst incident Cloudflare reported for Cloudflare DNS. It is their incident record, not a measurement of uptime.

No finished incidents on record yet since 2026-10-10. UpButler keeps what Cloudflare publishes for 90 days from the day it starts tracking a service.

Get alerted when Cloudflare DNS goes down

No account. One email when Cloudflare reports an incident that affects Cloudflare DNS, one when it is over. You confirm the address first, and every email has a one-click unsubscribe.

Or follow the RSS feed. On UpButler? Add Cloudflare as a dependency to route it to Slack, Teams or a webhook.

Tell your outage from Cloudflare's

Declare that your project depends on Cloudflare DNS. When one of your monitors fails while Cloudflare has an incident that began around the same time, UpButler tags your incident "likely upstream" with their incident linked, says so in the alert and the AI report, and tells your on-call agent not to change code.

npx upbutler init finds the dependency from your env var names and packages. The catalog, dependencies and upstream-aware incidents are on every plan, including Free.

Questions

Is Cloudflare DNS down right now?
No. As of 2026-10-10 07:19 UTC, Cloudflare DNS is up. This page reads the status again every 2 minutes.
Where does this status come from?
From Cloudflare's own status page API at https://www.cloudflarestatus.com. UpButler reads it once for everyone (not once per visitor) every 2 minutes with conditional requests, and shows it unchanged: incident titles and component names are Cloudflare's words. Their page covers more than this page shows; it is narrowed to the parts that concern Cloudflare DNS.
What does UpButler's own Cloudflare check prove?
Every two minutes UpButler sends one request without credentials to the Cloudflare API edge (api.cloudflare.com) from eu-central. Any answer from the edge, usually HTTP 400, shows that DNS, TLS and routing work from there. It does not prove that authenticated requests succeed, and it is one location, not a global view. It is most useful when it fails before their status page changes; the page then says so.
Can I get an alert when Cloudflare DNS goes down?
Yes, without an account: enter your email on this page, confirm the link we send, and you get one email when Cloudflare reports an incident that affects Cloudflare DNS and one when it is over. There is also an RSS feed at https://upbutler.com/status/cloudflare/feed.rss. Teams on UpButler can route the same alert to Slack, Teams or a webhook.
How can my agent or app check Cloudflare DNS status?
Fetch https://upbutler.com/status/cloudflare/dns/status.agent.json: a small JSON document with a verdict (proceed, retry, fallback or pause) and retryAfterSec. No key is needed. The same answer is an MCP tool, upstream_status {"service":"cloudflare","component":"dns"}, on https://upbutler.com/mcp/public.
How do I know whether an outage is mine or Cloudflare's?
Add "cloudflare" to the dependencies of your UpButler workspace. When one of your monitors fails while Cloudflare has an incident that began around the same time, your incident is tagged "likely upstream" with their incident linked, and your on-call agent is told not to change code.
