Jira status history
Our own checks from Europe and the US. Green means every check passed, amber means some checks failed, red means most checks in that period failed.
Outages our checks detected
None since Oct 13. A problem has to fail two checks in a row before we record it.

About Jira
Jira is Atlassian's issue-tracking and project-management platform, spanning Jira Software (agile development), Jira Service Management (ITSM, IT helpdesk), Confluence (wiki), Bitbucket (git hosting), and the rest of the Atlassian Cloud suite. Outages usually affect Jira Cloud instances (the dominant deployment), with Data Center (self-hosted) customers unaffected. Common patterns: the board view fails to load, sprint planning freezes, JQL searches return errors, workflows cannot transition issues, or add-ons from the Atlassian Marketplace disconnect. Engineering teams feel these outages hard because daily standups, sprint planning, and deploy-related ticket updates all depend on Jira.
The official Jira status page is available as a reference. Official pages are useful, but they can lag behind real outages by minutes or hours.
outage patterns
Why Jira outages can be hard to notice
Productivity SaaS tools like Jira sit in the background of daily work, which paradoxically makes their outages harder to catch quickly. Designs save, documents sync, and edits propagate without explicit confirmation steps, so a partial sync failure can leave work feeling done until you open it on another device.
The live check above measures the public atlassian.com endpoint from EU and US. It can reveal reachability or response-time problems, but it cannot inspect a private export queue, document sync state, or authenticated editor workflow. Confirm those features directly and compare them with the provider status reference.
Common signs Jira is having issues
- Files appearing to save successfully in the editor but failing to appear in the file list
- Exports (PDF, video, image bundles) stuck in a perpetual 'rendering' state
- Brand kit, fonts, or shared assets failing to load even though the editor opens
- Login or 2FA prompts looping when other apps from the same identity provider work fine
What to do when Jira is degraded
If you suspect Jira is having trouble, attempt the failing action from a private browsing window first - that rules out a cached-token or local-state problem. If the failure repeats, check atlassian.com from a second device or network. A reproducible failure across browsers and networks is almost always upstream, not local.

why independent monitoring
Provider status references
and endpoint checks answer different questions.
Independent endpoint evidence
The regional check can show that a public endpoint is failing before or after a provider posts broader incident context. It does not validate every product subsystem.
Scheduled alerts
Monitor Jira on your plan interval and route confirmed endpoint failures through the notification channels available to your workspace.
Multi-region verification
EU and US results can reveal a regional difference in public-endpoint reachability. Confirm the exact workflow and provider region you use.

Frequently asked questions
Is Jira down right now?
See the latest check of atlassian.com and its timestamp at the top of this page. If Jira is down, you can also check the official status page for extra context.
How do I check if Jira is having issues?
This page checks the public Jira endpoint from EU and US. You can also monitor that endpoint on a schedule and receive confirmed-failure alerts through the channels available on your plan. Test the exact provider feature you use for a complete diagnosis.
How can I get alerted when Jira goes down?
Add atlassian.com to Visual Sentinel and its first check is free. To keep monitoring, start a 7-day trial (card required) or subscribe now: Solo and Starter check every 5 minutes, Business and Agency every 60 seconds, with email, push and chat alerts.
Where can I find Jira outage context?
The official Jira status page is available as a reference. Official pages are useful, but they can lag behind real outages by minutes or hours. Visual Sentinel checks the public Jira endpoint independently from EU and US. Paid Business and Agency plans support 60-second uptime checks.
Does a Jira outage affect Confluence?
Often yes, because both are hosted on shared Atlassian Cloud infrastructure. However, the status page lists them separately, and it is possible for one to degrade while the other remains healthy, especially for UI-layer incidents rather than backbone infrastructure incidents.
Can I still query Jira via the API during a UI outage?
Sometimes. The Jira web UI and the REST API are separate surfaces that share a backend. UI-layer incidents (React app, static assets) leave the API accessible. Backend incidents (database, search indexing) affect both. CLI tools and custom integrations can work during UI-only outages.
Often checked together with Jira
Work tools are separate services. If one stops loading, check whether the others your team uses still answer.
