Is it RubyGems, or is it you?

Watching an outage above does not tell you whether your own connection or site is also having a problem. Enter your own URL for one live check, right now, no signup. This checks the site you enter, not RubyGems -- it cannot diagnose RubyGems's own systems.

What we measured, function by function

RubyGems answers on more than one surface, and they can fail apart. Each row is one surface, checked from the same regions. The verdict above follows the api row, because that is the surface we treat as this service's own; a failure on any other row is a partial outage, not a full one.

Somewhere else or not sure: 0 people in the last 5 minutes

These are unverified reports from people using RubyGems, counted separately from what our own probes measure. Anyone can file one, no account is needed, and the region on a report is chosen by the person filing it. We never open, extend or close an outage in our record based on report volume: only our own measurements do that. We have not received any reports for RubyGems yet, which is not evidence that nothing is wrong.

measured entries are our own probes' readings; declared entries are the vendor's. How this check works

We have been measuring RubyGems since August 22, 2026. We show nothing from before that date, and we never add an outage we did not observe ourselves, from any source.

Need this in writing? Generate an SLA evidence report for RubyGems covering any window you pick, with our measurements and RubyGems's own claim at the time, side by side.

Full availability history for RubyGems: 90-day availability by region, month-by-month uptime, and every incident on record.

Monitor your own site the same way

This page shows what we see when we check this service, using the same ten regions, for a site you run. RealUptime Monitor watches your own servers from inside your network, and it starts free.

Get told when we measure this

We will tell you when our probes stop reaching RubyGems, and again when they can reach it again. That is our own measurement from ten regions, not RubyGems's status page. No account, no card.

Delivery channel

Double opt-in: nothing is sent until you click the link in the confirmation email. One email when a measured outage opens, one when it closes, and a one-click unsubscribe in every one. We do not send anything else to this address.

RubyGems uptime measured by RealUptimeLive, from this page's own readings.

The badge shows the share of our probes that succeeded over the last 30 days, and the window is printed on it so the number always says what period it covers. If our readings go stale it says stale, and if we have no readings it says so: it will not show green on data we cannot vouch for. Free, no account, and it links back here. See how the badge works for every window and the honesty rules behind it.

What RubyGems's SLA implies, from our measurement

At or above your target

We measured none of downtime for RubyGems over the 338h 8m since we started watching it on 2026-08-22, which is 100% uptime by our reading. A 99.9% target allows 20 minutes over that period.

By our measurement there is no shortfall to claim for this period.

This is computed from our own probe measurements, not from RubyGems's SLA instrumentation. Their contract is normally measured against their own systems, with their own exclusions and a claim window, so their figure and ours will differ. Use this to start the conversation and ask for their number. It is not legal advice and it is not a determination of what you are owed.

RealUptime is not affiliated with RubyGems; the name identifies what we measured, and nothing here speaks for RubyGems's own team. We send a single web request to RubyGems from 10 regions on our own schedule and time the response. We do not see inside RubyGems's systems, do not use an account or real transaction, and are not the same signal RubyGems's own team has access to. Treat this as one external data point, not a verdict. At least one endpoint we check for RubyGems is a real functional API call (marked “functional” above), not just a landing page, so a clean read there is a stronger signal than reachability alone, though it still does not cover every feature of the service. Read the full methodology.
