If you encourage several hundred people to DOS the same target it becomes a DDoS by virtue of the participation.

I see no reason why a hacker would need to, or even be able to crash the server exactly 3 minutes apart from the previous crash.
The status page does not tap the server on the shoulder and say, Excuse me, when did you crash? Write it down and report it.
The status page checks on a schedule, and records the results, on that schedule.
The status page has no idea when they crashed. It only knows what the status was when it checked.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.
