what you see

watchdog displays a simplified view of public service status.

example:

> provider_summary

[cloudflare]

status            : Minor Service Outage

last_update       : 2026-04-05 10:30:37.291Z

this output is generated from publicly available provider status endpoints.

where data comes from

each provider exposes a public status API.

watchdog reads:

• current status

• last update timestamp

no internal data is used.

how it works

very simple:

1. request public status data

2. extract a few fields

3. render into terminal-style output

for detailed view, additional public fields are shown:

• incident count

• affected components

• component states

statistics

statistics are based on periodic observations over time.

the system:

• checks provider status at fixed intervals

• records observed state

• builds a basic history

from that, simple metrics are derived, such as:

• how often issues appear

• how long systems remain stable

limitations

this is an informational tool.

• based only on publicly reported data

• does not verify real outages

• does not guarantee accuracy

purpose

this is a small, free experiment.

it demonstrates how useful signals can be extracted from public data with minimal logic and no external dependencies
