What UpButler measured

API edge is answeringHTTP 200 · 224 ms

One request without credentials to api.github.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 GitHub as a whole, not for GitHub webhooks specifically.

Get alerted when GitHub webhooks goes down

No account. One email when GitHub reports an incident that affects GitHub webhooks, 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 GitHub as a dependency to route it to Slack, Teams or a webhook.

Status badge

Show GitHub webhooks's current status in a README or an internal wiki. It updates by itself.

Tell your outage from GitHub's

Declare that your project depends on GitHub webhooks. When one of your monitors fails while GitHub 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 GitHub webhooks down right now?
No. As of 2026-10-10 07:16 UTC, GitHub webhooks is up. This page reads the status again every 60 seconds.
Where does this status come from?
From GitHub's own status page API at https://www.githubstatus.com. UpButler reads it once for everyone (not once per visitor) every 60 seconds with conditional requests, and shows it unchanged: incident titles and component names are GitHub's words. Their page covers more than this page shows; it is narrowed to the parts that concern GitHub webhooks.
What does UpButler's own GitHub check prove?
Every two minutes UpButler sends one request without credentials to the GitHub API edge (api.github.com) from eu-central. Any answer from the edge, usually HTTP 200, 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 GitHub webhooks goes down?
Yes, without an account: enter your email on this page, confirm the link we send, and you get one email when GitHub reports an incident that affects GitHub webhooks and one when it is over. There is also an RSS feed at https://upbutler.com/status/github/feed.rss. Teams on UpButler can route the same alert to Slack, Teams or a webhook.
How can my agent or app check GitHub webhooks status?
Fetch https://upbutler.com/status/github/webhooks/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":"github","component":"webhooks"}, on https://upbutler.com/mcp/public.
How do I know whether an outage is mine or GitHub's?
Add "github" to the dependencies of your UpButler workspace. When one of your monitors fails while GitHub 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.
