About Our Blackboard Status Page Integration

Blackboard is an Education solution that StatusGator has been monitoring since March 2015. Over the past about 8 years, we have collected data on on more than 945 outages that affected Blackboard users. When Blackboard publishes downtime on their status page, they do so across 43 components and 5 groups using 4 different statuses: up, warn, down, and maintenance which we use to provide granular uptime metrics and notifications.

More than 300 StatusGator users monitor Blackboard to get notified when it's down, is under maintenance, or has an outage. This makes it one of the most popular education services monitored on our platform. We've sent more than 16,600 notifications to our users about Blackboard incidents, providing transparency and peace of mind. You can get alerts by signing up for a free StatusGator account.

If Blackboard is having system outages or experiencing other critical issues, red down notifications appear on the status page. In most cases, it means that core functions are not working properly, or there is some other serious customer-impacting event underway.

Warn notifications are used when Blackboard is undergoing a non-critical issue like minor service issues, performance degradation, non-core bugs, capacity issues, or problems affecting a small number of users.

Blackboard posts separate notifications for planned maintenance work. StatusGator will notify subscribers when Blackboard enters a pre-planned maintenance window, keeping you up to date.

Since Blackboard publishes a feed of proactive maintenance events on their status page, StatusGator will collect information about these events. Maintenance events for all your services can be viewed within StatusGator as a unified feed.

When Blackboard posts issues on their status page, we collect the main headline message and include that brief information or overview in notifications to StatusGator subscribers.

When Blackboard has outages or other service-impacting events on their status page, we pull down the detailed informational updates and include them in notifications. These messages often include the current details about how the problem is being mitigated, or when the next update will occur.

Because Blackboard has several components, each with their individual statuses, StatusGator can differentiate the status of each component in our notifications to you. This means, you can filter your status page notifications based on the services, regions, or components you utilize. This is an essential feature for complex services with many components or services spread out across many regions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Blackboard down today?

According to its status page Blackboard is currently warn. You can check the most recent events in the 'Recent Outages and Issues' section above.

How can I find out if Blackboard is having issues?

There are two main options: You can check the Blackboard status page or you can subscribe to StatusGator for free alerts and notifications when their status page changes.

Blackboard status page says the service is up, but I'm having issues. What's wrong?

There may be several reasons for that:

  • An outage that hasn't been communicated yet via the Blackboard status page.
  • Some local issues with a small group of accounts on the service side.
  • Technical issues on your side, or problems with your software or ISP.
  • A misconfiguration on your side.

We recommend contacting Blackboard customer support while checking everything on your side. You can also try Tweeting at them via @blackboard on Twitter. Or visit their official status page or website:
