@mcfly is the Color Code somewhere explained? Did not find in the Info section

@WWSchoof first the obvious: Green is "active" and yellow and red both seem to mean failed. Grey means planned.

What's the difference between yellow and red you ask? I have no fucking clue but i have reached out to the org that's running this website and i have asked them.

When i get an answer i'll let you know.

@WWSchoof Feedback from the developers:
Green is online
Yellow is a reported maintenance
Red is an outage

@WWSchoof ok, another update:

Yellow also means selected. :-D So if you click on a cable it also turns yellow.

Developers say "maybe not a super smart UI decision" so maybe that changes soon.
