What UpButler measured

Registry is answeringHTTP 200 · 214 ms

One request without credentials to registry.npmjs.org 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 npm as a whole, not for npm package installation specifically.

Get alerted when npm package installation goes down

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

Status badge

Show npm package installation's current status in a README or an internal wiki. It updates by itself.

Tell your outage from npm's

Declare that your project depends on npm package installation. When one of your monitors fails while npm 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 npm package installation down right now?
No. As of 2026-10-10 07:19 UTC, npm package installation is up. This page reads the status again every 2 minutes.
Where does this status come from?
From npm's own status page API at https://status.npmjs.org. 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 npm's words. Their page covers more than this page shows; it is narrowed to the parts that concern npm package installation.
What does UpButler's own npm check prove?
Every two minutes UpButler sends one request without credentials to the npm Registry (registry.npmjs.org) 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 npm package installation goes down?
Yes, without an account: enter your email on this page, confirm the link we send, and you get one email when npm reports an incident that affects npm package installation and one when it is over. There is also an RSS feed at https://upbutler.com/status/npm/feed.rss. Teams on UpButler can route the same alert to Slack, Teams or a webhook.
How can my agent or app check npm package installation status?
Fetch https://upbutler.com/status/npm/installs/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":"npm","component":"installs"}, on https://upbutler.com/mcp/public.
How do I know whether an outage is mine or npm's?
Add "npm" to the dependencies of your UpButler workspace. When one of your monitors fails while npm 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.

UpButler is not affiliated with npm. Status and incident text belong to npm and are read from their public status source; the probe result is UpButler's own measurement.
