You can provide your team real-time monitoring and instant notifications for outages in all your tools and cloud providers. IsDown monitors more than 2000 status pages.

With this integration, you can receive alerts from third-party dependencies in Datadog, monitor business critical services, and understand the frequency of outages all within the out-of-the-box dashboard.

## Data Collected{% #data-collected %}

### Service Checks{% #service-checks %}

**isdown**

IsDown sends service checks for each service you monitor. The service check name is `isdown`, with the host being the service name. The status is `OK` if the service is up and `WARNING` or `CRITICAL` depending on the severity of the status of a service.

*Statuses: ok, warning, critical*

### Events{% #events %}

IsDown sends events for each outage that happens in the services you monitor. It sends two types of events, one for the start of the outage and one for the end of the outage. The events are sent with the following attributes:

- Title: The name of the service with the outage.
- Text: The description of the outage.
- Tags: `isdown` and `isdown:service_name`.
