High Error Rate because of connections to backend data systems.Resolved Nov 3, 2026 · 7h 47mResolved

There was a problem with our connection to backend data sources. The issue started at 9:09AM EST on Nov 3rd. It caused a complete outage to a few data agents for DR and AR products for a duration of 3 hours. A subset of data agents were functional on stale data. The staleness persisted for about 3 hours and 30 minutes. All the data retrieval agents were back to normal around 12:45 EST. ‌ During this outage, some customer queries returned errors and partial responses for other requests which needed data from these affected data retrieval agents. ‌ We have identified more than 31 action items to help us prevent this failure in future. --- [2026-11-04T00:58:53.746Z] (resolved) This incident is resolved. All systems are stable for few hours now. --- [2026-11-03T19:03:31.546Z] (monitoring) We are continuing to monitor the cluster. Any lingering errors or high latency should improve. --- [2026-11-03T17:10:55.016Z] (monitoring) There was a problem with our connection to backend data sources. We have identified and fixed the issue. Presently monitoring for proper functionality. If you are seeing high error rates or timeouts, your queries is having issues retrieving data. Mitigation is in place and the error rates should come down soon. Next update in one hour.

Kensho Status FAQ

Is Kensho down right now?

The verdict at the top of this page comes from the latest poll of the official Kensho status feed and refreshes automatically, so you are not looking at a stale cached answer. PulsAPI re-checks it every 60 seconds.

What should I do if Kensho is not working?

Check the component list on this page first to see if your failure matches a known outage. If it does, you can report the issue for other engineers, follow the incident timeline for vendor updates, and run any fallback your app supports until Kensho recovers.

How do I check Kensho uptime history?

PulsAPI tracks Kensho uptime over 30, 60, and 90-day rolling windows. The current 30-day uptime is not published yet, because a 30-day figure needs 30 days of tracked history. The 90-day uptime strip on this page is public: no account needed. A free account adds alerts whenever Kensho changes state, plus 15 days of incident detail; Pro extends that to 90 days and Business to 13 months.

How fast does PulsAPI detect Kensho outages?

PulsAPI reads the official Kensho status page. PulsAPI re-checks it every 60 seconds. Alerts reach Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or email once a change has held for 5 minutes, so a one-minute blip does not page you.

Does PulsAPI track individual Kensho components?

Yes. PulsAPI monitors 9 individual Kensho components, so you can see which service or region is affected instead of a generic "service degraded" banner.

Can I get alerts when Kensho goes down?

Yes. Create a free account and subscribe to Kensho: the free plan covers three services with unlimited email alerts and no monthly notification cap. Paid plans lift the monitor limit entirely (Pro and above do not meter how many vendors you watch) and route the same alerts into Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty and webhooks.

How do I report an issue with Kensho to the community?

Click "Report an issue" at the top of this page, pick the issue type and severity, and optionally add your region and a short note. Reports are anonymous and help other engineers spot Kensho problems early. Official status pages often lag real incidents by 10 to 20 minutes.

Is there a free way to monitor Kensho?

Yes. The free plan covers 3 monitored services with unlimited email alerts, permanently, so Kensho plus two more costs nothing. Every new account also opens with a 30-day Business trial (unlimited monitors, Slack alerts, SLA reporting) with no credit card.

4372+ vendors in one dashboard, and an email the moment any of them changes state. Three free, and no monitor limit at all from $29/mo, unlike the alternatives, which keep charging by the monitor.
