Overview
aknStatus allows users to check whether akn services are reachable, view 30 days of recorded availability for each one, and read the record of active and past incidents. No account is required to read any part of the page.
Availability is established by requesting each monitored address on a schedule and recording whether it answered. A service marked operational answered its last request.
