The OpenSRS status page is the central place to track ongoing incidents, maintenance, and component-level outages across OpenSRS services. This article explains the components reported on the page, the colour-coded component statuses and overall impact levels, and how often you can expect updates during an incident. Use it to interpret what you see on the status page and to know when to expect the next update.

Components

Components are the individual OpenSRS products and services that are tracked on the status page. Each component has its own status indicator so you can see exactly which service is affected during an incident.

Component statuses

Each component on the status page displays one of five colour-coded statuses.

Planned maintenance is in progress on the component.

Possible brief interruption tied to the maintenance window.
