Where to See Past Incidents on Red Hat Status

Updated

Open status.redhat.com and scroll to the Past Incidents section. That section is where Red Hat Status keeps its historical record of incidents, so it is the place to review previous outages and how they were resolved. The same site describes itself as Red Hat's home for real-time and historical data on system performance, which means the current status view and the past-incident history sit on the same page.

What the Past Incidents section gives you

The section is a running log rather than a single snapshot. Each entry corresponds to an incident Red Hat created, updated, or resolved, so you can trace an event from its first report through to resolution. This is useful when you want to confirm whether a disruption you experienced was a known, tracked incident or something isolated to your own environment.

Typical reasons to check it

  • Confirming whether an earlier slowdown or outage was officially recorded.
  • Reviewing how a past incident was described and when it was marked resolved.
  • Building a timeline of recurring problems for internal reporting.

Checking current status alongside history

Because the site covers both real-time and historical data, the practical workflow is to check the live status first and then use Past Incidents to see whether the same component has had issues before. If the current view shows nothing but you saw a problem earlier, the Past Incidents log is where a resolved entry would appear.

Getting notified instead of checking manually

If you would rather not poll the page, the site offers subscriptions. The Subscribe to Updates flow lets you:

  • Get email notifications whenever Red Hat creates, updates, or resolves an incident. You enter an email address and complete an OTP (one-time password) verification step, with a resend option if the code does not arrive.
  • Get text message notifications when Red Hat creates or resolves an incident, after selecting a country code from the provided list.

The form notes that it is protected by reCAPTCHA and subject to Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. Subscription availability and any account requirements are not detailed on the page beyond this form, so treat the notification options as the documented path rather than assuming other channels exist.
