Think that this is an implementation specific thing => should be handled in the respecitive PRs that need it or benefit from it.

The cases you mentioned can either be considered as

  • OK => UP => no notification or
  • not OK => DOWN => issue notification

=> don't currently see an iminent need for adding another status

sure, but it would be nice to have finer-grained severity options

see e.g.

Just wanted to chime in here and mention that we have a lot of use cases for "degraded service" status across our stack of services.

They all fall in the category of "The service is operating, but there are likely things that should be addressed".

Examples:

  • There are customer orders that have been stuck too long in "processing" or "failed" and needs intervention
  • New vulnerabilities found in dependencies in need of update
  • Upstream services unhealthy (but aren't owned by us)
  • Abnormal activity showing potentially undergoing attacks (but service still operating)
  • Failure of other custom health checks showing if the system is performing and looking healthy (but not DOWN if unhealthy)

Each of our services has its own health dashboard with different checks which can be either Green / Yellow / Red. Right now, yellow + red causes DOWN in uptime kuma, often causing a lot of "downtime" which has the unfortunate side-effect of signaling a service is down even when it's not. But changing it to not flag our "warnings" would leave us in the dark when something happens that might need our attention.

The ability to signal degraded service in uptime kuma + customize alert-settings for these would be the final missing piece for us, in this otherwise absolutely fantastic and beautiful product ❤️
