We’re happy to announce that Early Warning Signals are now available in Webex! With Webex now supported, Early Warning Signals are available across all chat integrations—including Microsoft Teams, Slack, Google Chat, Discord, Webhooks and now Webex—plus email and SMS. No matter where your team communicates, you’ll never miss the early signs of an outage.
What this means for your team
If your team relies on Webex for day-to-day communication, Early Warning Signals make it easy to stay ahead of possible service disruptions. Instead of waiting for official status page updates, you’ll know sooner when something might be wrong—giving you more time to respond.
How it works
Our detection system analyzes anomalies, crowd-sourced reports, and traffic patterns to spot early signs of trouble. When an issue is suspected, you’ll get an alert in Webex with just enough detail to investigate and decide whether action is needed.
Things you can do with it
- Act fast: Respond quickly to suspected issues before they escalate into major outages.
- Stay informed: Keep your team aligned with alerts that surface directly in Webex.
- Customize notifications: Early Warning Signals are enabled by default, but you can adjust preferences per monitor or across your entire board.
How to manage settings
- For a single monitor: Go to the monitor’s Settings → Notifications tab to enable or disable Early Warning Signals.
- For your whole board: Head to Board Settings → Monitor Notifications to manage Early Warning Signals globally.
