How can my agent or app check Redis Cloud status?

Fetch https://upbutler.com/status/redis-cloud/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":"redis-cloud"}, on https://upbutler.com/mcp/public.

How do I know whether an outage is mine or Redis Cloud's?

Add "redis-cloud" to the dependencies of your UpButler workspace. When one of your monitors fails while Redis Cloud 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.

Is Redis Cloud down?

What Redis Cloud says

status.redis.io has no public JSON API or feed we may read, and there is no keyless endpoint that says anything useful.

Their site: status.redis.io

What UpButler measured

There is no keyless endpoint of Redis Cloud that says anything useful, so UpButler does not probe it. To check your own Redis Cloud account, add a monitor with your key: it is yours alone and catches what a shared probe cannot.

Redis Cloud incidents, last 90 days

Without a machine-readable source there is no incident history to show. Redis Cloud keeps its own at status.redis.io.

Get alerted when Redis Cloud goes down

Redis Cloud publishes no incidents we can read, so there is nothing to send an alert about. If you depend on it, monitor your own use of it: add a monitor with your key or URL.

Status badge

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

Tell your outage from Redis Cloud's

Declare that your project depends on Redis Cloud. When one of your monitors fails while Redis Cloud 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.

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