Tell your outage from Google Gemini & Vertex AI's
Declare that your project depends on Google Gemini & Vertex AI. When one of your monitors fails while Google Gemini & Vertex AI 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 Google Gemini & Vertex AI down right now?
- No. As of 2026-10-10 05:10 UTC, Google Gemini & Vertex AI is operational. This page reads the status again every 5 minutes.
- Where does this status come from?
- From Google Gemini & Vertex AI's own incident feed at https://status.cloud.google.com. UpButler reads it once for everyone (not once per visitor) every 300 seconds with conditional requests, and shows it unchanged: incident titles and component names are Google Gemini & Vertex AI's words. Their page covers more than this page shows; it is narrowed to the parts that concern Google Gemini & Vertex AI.
- What does UpButler's own Google Gemini & Vertex AI check prove?
- Every two minutes UpButler sends one request without credentials to the Google Gemini & Vertex AI API edge (generativelanguage.googleapis.com). Any answer from the edge, usually HTTP 403, shows that DNS, TLS and routing work. It does not prove that authenticated requests succeed, so it can say "reachable" while Google Gemini & Vertex AI reports degraded service. It is useful the other way round: when the probe fails before their status page changes.
- How can my agent or app check Google Gemini & Vertex AI status?
- Fetch https://upbutler.com/status/gemini/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":"gemini"}, on https://upbutler.com/mcp/public.
- How do I know whether an outage is mine or Google Gemini & Vertex AI's?
- Add "gemini" to the dependencies of your UpButler workspace. When one of your monitors fails while Google Gemini & Vertex AI 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.
