PingPatrol

PingPatrol is an AI-powered Chrome extension designed to quickly identify outages in cloud, gaming, and enterprise applications. It consolidates provider feeds and local probes into a single browser panel, offering plain English summaries of issues, their locations, and potential impact, along with official links for action. The tool evolved from a basic list of status links to integrating RSS and API feeds, adding global HTTP, TLS, and ICMP probes, and incorporating a summarizer and Slack webhook. The latest version includes AI NLP queries for recent outages across major providers. It distinguishes between degraded and major issues, caches data efficiently, and ensures privacy by not collecting browsing history, aiming to reduce response time from alarm to action.
