Systems and methods for identifying failed computing nodes are disclosed. An example system includes a plurality of computing nodes, where each computing node of the plurality of computing nodes includes, or has access to, at least one hardware processor. An example method includes generating a unique identifier particularly corresponding to a particular node. The example method also includes periodically updating a node record in a persistent storage location with the unique identifier, where the node record is associated with the particular node. The example method further includes accessing the persistent storage location at a first time and identifying a most recent update to the node record. The example method also includes determining that the most recent update to the node record occurred more than a threshold amount of time prior to the first time.
