I too was very happy to see the downtime notify email today! I'm very glad to know that the Googlers are on the case!
One suggestion I have as to the status page, is possibly add a monitor that reports the # of 500's received per day...As in, the status page requests a random page from your sample app(this page requires a get/ put to the datastore). An accurate number of random 500's, such as DeadlineExceeded are reported. That way I can tell if my app's deadline exceeded rates are par for the course or maybe I need to look at my code. I'm sure this would not be welcomed as if it were accurate it couldn't look good to the public/press, but I think this could be a very useful way to determine if elevated error levels are localized or being experienced GAE wide. For me, the datastore latency graphs are not extremely useful. When they are red-lining, they may be in the 800ms range. I don't quite understand how an 800ms datastore latency causes my app to fail with DeadlineExceeded (30000ms). I have yet to see a datastore latency graph showing a y-axis up to 30000ms. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
