Availability counts operational or degraded time as available, averaged equally across all monitored components. Partial outages count as half downtime and major outages count in full, scheduled maintenance is excluded from the calculation, and periods with no recorded status are counted as available rather than assumed down. Each component is tracked independently to give you a clear picture of overall service reliability.

Frequently asked questions about Censys

Common questions about monitoring Censys and understanding service status

Is Censys down right now?

Censys has a recorded status of Partial Outage, last checked Nov 2, 2026 8:27 PM UTC. Review the status timeline and affected components, then check whether your own workflow is affected. Vendor-reported status can lag an incident.

How do I get notified when Censys goes down?

Create a Statusfield account, select the Censys components you depend on, and configure notification channels and status filters. Alerts follow detected changes that match your monitoring settings. Available channels and limits depend on your plan; delivery timing also depends on the source update and successful checks.

Why monitor Censys alongside my other vendors?

Statusfield brings Censys's reported component status together with your other vendors in one dashboard. You can choose the components you depend on and configure notification channels and status filters. The available channels and limits depend on your plan. Vendor status pages differ in their own subscription options.

What do Censys status levels mean?

Censys status levels indicate service health: Operational (all systems working normally), Degraded Performance (reduced functionality), Partial Outage (some components affected), Major Outage (significant service disruption), and Under Maintenance (scheduled maintenance). Statusfield tracks these statuses across 5 components to provide granular monitoring.

What should I do when Censys is down?

When Censys is down: 1) Check the affected components and any available incident updates, 2) Review your application's Censys integration for fallback mechanisms, 3) Check the provider's support channels for recovery information, 4) Configure Statusfield alerts for detected status changes. Recovery times depend on the incident; Statusfield does not predict when the provider will restore service.

Has Censys been down today?

The status timeline above is the record: it shows every incident, outage and maintenance window Statusfield has seen for Censys over the last 30 days, with the times each began and ended. Censys is disrupted right now — the timeline shows when it started.

Why is Censys not working for me?

If Censys isn't working: 1) Check Statusfield to confirm if there's a service-wide outage, 2) Verify your internet connection, 3) Clear your browser cache and cookies, 4) Try accessing Censys from a different network or device, 5) Check Censys's official status page for regional issues. If Censys shows operational but you're still experiencing issues, the problem may be local to your account or network.

Is Censys down for everyone or just me?

Statusfield displays the status reported for 5 Censys components. Compare the affected components with your own errors and the provider's latest updates. An operational status does not rule out a regional, account-specific, or unreported problem.

How can I reduce alert fatigue from Censys status emails?

Use Statusfield to consolidate your dependencies into one dashboard. Choose which Censys components to monitor, select the notification channels included in your plan, and configure status filters so routine updates do not go to the same destination as major outages.

How do I set up Censys monitoring in 3 steps?

1) Create a Statusfield account — eligible new accounts can choose a free trial, no card required. 2) Search for "Censys" in the service catalog and click "Monitor" to add it to your dashboard. 3) Configure the notification channels included in your plan and choose which severities should trigger alerts.

What notification channels does Statusfield support for Censys alerts?

Route Censys status changes to email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, Discord or HTTP webhooks, depending on your plan. Choose the supported components and events that matter to your team, then test the destination and confirm your routing rules. Delivery depends on detected changes, source availability and the destination.

Censys isn't the only vendor you depend on — and an outage at any of them looks the same to your customers.
