Google launches a Merchant Center Status Dashboard

Google this week launched a Merchant Center Status Dashboard, where retailers can see if service disruptions occur on the Content API for Shopping, Merchant Center, and Feeds.

If the dot is green, it means there are no issues.

Google says that if a major incident is identified, Google will generally post an outage notice on the Dashboard and provide updates when the issue is resolved. According to Google, all incidents are first verified by the support engineers, so there may be a slight delay from the time they actually occurred.
