OutageDeck vendor status check

Stop burning CI minutes on an upstream outage. This GitHub Action checks the live status of the cloud and SaaS vendors your workflow depends on using OutageDeck, then fails or warns at the threshold you choose.

Public checks are free, keyless, and read-only. Status comes from each vendor's official status feed.

Quick start

name: Deploy

on:
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Check upstream dependencies
        uses: outagedeck/status-check@v1
        with:
          providers: aws,cloudflare,github,openai
          fail-on: outage

      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - run: ./deploy.sh

The action adds a provider table to the workflow summary and links every result to its live OutageDeck status page.

Inputs

Input	Required	Default	Description
providers	Yes	—	Comma-separated provider slugs. Find them in the provider directory.
fail-on	No	degraded	degraded, outage, major_outage, or never.
fail-on-error	No	true	Fail if a slug is invalid or the status API cannot be reached.
api-key	No	—	Optional OutageDeck API key for a higher hourly quota.

Outputs

Output	Description
operational	true when no provider met the configured failure threshold.
summary	A compact human-readable status summary.
results	JSON array with provider status, headline, source timestamp, and link.

Use outputs when you want a warning-only preflight gate:

- id: vendors
  uses: outagedeck/status-check@v1
  with:
    providers: github,vercel,cloudflare
    fail-on: never

- if: steps.vendors.outputs.operational == 'true'
  run: echo "Upstream services look healthy"

Status thresholds

fail-on	Fails for
degraded	degraded, partial outage, or major outage
outage	partial outage or major outage
major_outage	major outage only
never	never fails because of provider state

API or configuration errors are controlled separately with fail-on-error.
