Questions

Is UC Santa Barbara down right now?

The vendor reports a major incident. Our homepage check still succeeds, so the impact may be limited to part of the service. Official status: Partial System Outage

UC Santa Barbara not working for me but the status is fine. What now?

If UC Santa Barbara is not working only for you, it is usually local: try a different browser or the app, switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, and clear the cache. If lots of people report it here at the same time, the problem is on UC Santa Barbara's side.

How does Damn is it down decide UC Santa Barbara's status?

Three signals. Anonymous reports are compared with the usual volume for this hour. HTTP checks from Cloudflare have to fail twice in a row before we call our side down. When the vendor publishes a status JSON feed, that incident level is included too.

How often is UC Santa Barbara checked?

About every five minutes. The cron runs each minute and rotates through the catalog, so a full pass takes a few minutes.
