Vendor Outage Monitoring for MSPs: Per-Client Status Pages and Custom Dashboards

Handling client calls when a third-party vendor has an outage - this will sound familiar if you are a managed service provider (MSP). Your first instinct would be to check if the vendor's status page or social media handle shows anything, or check crowdsourced websites like Downdetector. Or even ask your client to check themselves. These approaches do not scale when you have more than a few clients, many vendor status pages to check, and clients with different stacks.
