Cloudflare Radar Outage Center¶
The Cloudflare Radar Outage Center is the public catalogue of Internet disruptions maintained by the Cloudflare Radar team at radar.cloudflare.com/outage-center. It sits on top of Cloudflare Radar's per-country / per-AS / per-region telemetry and surfaces detected and confirmed outage events — "observed traffic anomalies" that are either tagged with a known cause (political shutdown, grid collapse, natural disaster, cable incident, vendor software failure) or left in the untagged-anomaly feed until attribution arrives.
What it exposes¶
- Confirmed outage catalogue — events tagged with cause, affected country / region / AS, start/end timestamps, and links to any public communications from operators or regulators.
- Traffic anomalies feed — machine-detected deviations from per-country / per-AS baselines that may or may not be outages, visible at radar.cloudflare.com/outage-center#traffic-anomalies. The 2026-04-28 quarterly review explicitly disclaims exhaustive coverage: "This post is intended as a summary overview of observed and confirmed disruptions and is not an exhaustive or complete list of issues that have occurred during the quarter. A larger list of detected traffic anomalies is available in the Cloudflare Radar Outage Center."
- Quarterly narrative reviews — every quarter the Radar team publishes a long-form blog post summarising the confirmed outages and their mechanisms. Canonical instance of the quarterly Internet disruption review shape. See sources/2026-04-28-cloudflare-q1-2026-internet-disruption-summary for the Q1 2026 review.
Relationship to Cloudflare Radar¶
Where Cloudflare Radar provides the
underlying telemetry surface (per-AS traffic, BGP view, DNS query
shapes, IPv6 posture, protocol adoption), the Outage Center is the
human-curated layer on top that turns raw anomaly signals into
an attributable, linkable, externally-cite-able catalogue. Each
quarterly review post cites Radar country / AS / region URLs
directly — radar.cloudflare.com/ir, radar.cloudflare.com/as43754
— so readers can drill from the narrative summary back to the live
data.
