Internet Sonar &
Internet Stack Map

Catchpoint’s Internet Sonar uses data from the world’s largest, independent active observability network to display an AI-powered, real-time, interactive status report of global outages.

Catchpoint’s unique Internet Stack Map uses data from Internet Sonar to automatically generate dependency maps for each one of your critical services and applications for live visibility into application health.

Together, they instantly answer the questions “What is wrong with my application?” and “Is it me or something else?” The result is comprehensive visibility into real-time status that only Catchpoint can provide. They make troubleshooting fast and effective, eliminating finger-pointing and war rooms while drastically slashing MTTI and MTTR. And that’s crucial when minutes of downtime can cost thousands of dollars.

Internet Sonar FAQs

Understanding the Live Internet Outages Map

What is Internet Sonar?

Catchpoint Internet Sonar intelligently provides simple, trustworthy Internet health information at-a-glance so you can get ahead of productivity or experience-impacting incidents. Internet Sonar uses data from the world’s largest, independent active observability network to monitor from where it matters. The result is an AI-powered, real-time, interactive status report that can be displayed via an interactive map, a dashboard widget or accessed by any system via API.

What is the free Live Internet Outages Map?

The free Live Internet Outages Map is a limited free version of Internet Sonar that is publicly available to everyone, not just Catchpoint users. It’s limited to the last 24 hours and provides a sample of the hundreds of services available in the full version.

Where does this data come from?

Internet Sonar provides real-time information based upon the millions of tests running on Catchpoint’s unparalleled global observability network. An AI correlation engine translates the billions of datapoints from those millions of tests into simple, trustworthy and real-time outage notifications that can be viewed in a display like the one above, sent via email or integrated into any system via webhook or API.

How can Internet Sonar help me?

Catchpoint Internet Sonar instantly answers the question: "Is it me or something else?" when troubleshooting network issues. Alerts from Internet Sonar can save considerable time when trying to diagnose incidents and dramatically reduce both Mean Time To Identification (MTTI) and Mean Time To Resolution (MTTR). Everyone relies upon an ever-increasing web of third-party services to run their critical systems, and knowing which of those third-party services are down can get to answers faster. Internet Sonar removes Internet Stack blindspots, takes the guesswork out of troubleshooting and saves both time and money.

What’s the difference between Internet Sonar and other outage resources?

Accuracy and timeliness. Internet Sonar provides real-time information based upon the millions of tests running on our unparalleled global observability network. Nothing is crowd-sourced like some other outage resources, meaning there’s no delay, no false-positives, no human error and no risk of inaccuracy. Our AI correlation engine translates the billions of datapoints from those millions of tests into simple, trustworthy and real-time outage notifications that can be viewed in a display like the one above, sent via email or integrated into any system via webhook or API. At any time, you can click on these notifications to drill down into the details and examine the data yourself.
