Instatus connector

Set up the Instatus connector in Kaivo: authentication, configuration, the 12 BigQuery tables it syncs, and answers to common questions.

Written By Lauri Raivio

Last updated 16 days ago

Kaivo is a fully managed data platform that syncs your Instatus data into a Google BigQuery warehouse and keeps it up to date automatically. There is no pipeline to build and no infrastructure to run, so you can spend your time analysing your data from Instatus instead of moving it.

What is the Instatus connector

Sync your Instatus status page data into BigQuery with Kaivo to analyse incidents, uptime, and subscribers over time.

How the Instatus sync works

After the first load, Kaivo keeps your BigQuery warehouse up to date for you. Where Instatus supports it, each sync pulls only new and changed records so it stays fast; otherwise it refreshes the whole table. Every record keeps its original ID, so you won't get duplicate rows.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the initial sync take for Instatus?

It depends on how much history is in your Instatus account. Most initial syncs finish within minutes, while large accounts can take a few hours. After that, syncs only fetch new and changed records, so they're much faster.

Can I sync only some tables or columns?

Yes. You pick which tables to sync when you set up the connection and can change the selection later. Tables you don't select are never copied to your warehouse.

What happens when Instatus's schema changes?

New fields are never added automatically. You choose which fields to sync, so data you haven't selected (sensitive personal data, for example) never lands in your warehouse. When a new field appears, it becomes available for you to add. What happens to removed or renamed fields depends on a table's sync mode: full-refresh tables always match what's currently in Instatus, so dropped fields disappear, while incremental tables keep their existing columns and history, so an old field stays and newly added fields fill in over time.

Your data lives in your own Kaivo-managed BigQuery warehouse, so the most direct option is to delete or anonymise specific records right in BigQuery. If you delete data in Instatus instead, full-refresh tables drop it on the next sync, while incremental tables keep it, so you would remove the row in BigQuery or ask us to run a full refresh. To remove everything, delete the Instatus connector in Kaivo and all of its synced data is deleted with it.

Common use cases for Instatus data

Incident history

Use incidents and incident_updates to track frequency and duration over time.

Component reliability

Join page_components with incidents to find which systems cause the most disruption.

Subscriber trends

Use subscribers to see how your status audience grows.

Use Instatus data in your AI and BI tools

Once Instatus data lands in your Kaivo-managed BigQuery warehouse, you can explore it with AI tools or any BI tool that connects to BigQuery. Here's how the most common destinations work with Instatus data.
