Discourse (Modern forum software for civilized communities) is a a Social Media solution that StatusGator has been monitoring since February 2025. Over the past 11 months, we have collected data on on more than 51 outages that affected Discourse users. When Discourse publishes downtime on their status page, they do so across 20 components and 10 groups using 4 different statuses: up, warn, down, and maintenance which we use to provide granular uptime metrics and notifications.
If you're wondering, "Is Discourse down?", or need to know its current status, we've got you covered. Our platform tracks every reported outage, performance issue, and maintenance window to ensure you're informed. Whether Discourse is experiencing a problem now or has recently resolved one, our detailed history keeps you updated.
Many StatusGator users monitor Discourse to get notified when it's down, is under maintenance, or has an outage. You can get alerts by signing up for a free StatusGator account.
If we detect a potential Discourse outage or other issue before it was reported on the official status page we will send an Early Warning Signal notification to StatusGator subscribers. We can often detect issues before they are officially acknowledged by the provider, giving you a head start on resolving any potential problems.
If Discourse 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 Discourse 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.
Discourse posts separate notifications for planned maintenance work. StatusGator will notify subscribers when Discourse enters a pre-planned maintenance window, keeping you up to date.
When Discourse 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 Discourse 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 Discourse has several components, each with their individual statuses, StatusGator can differentiate the status of each component in our notifications to you whenever a particular component is down. 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.
