    About our Plex status page integration

    Plex (Media streaming and personal media library management platform) is a a Video solution that StatusGator has been monitoring since January 2021. Over the past almost 5 years, we have collected data on on more than 798 outages that affected Plex users. When Plex publishes downtime on their status page, they do so across 31 components and 6 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 Plex 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 Plex is experiencing a problem now or has recently resolved one, our detailed history keeps you updated.

    More than 100 StatusGator users monitor Plex to get notified when it's down, is under maintenance, or has an outage. We've sent more than 2,800 notifications to our users about Plex incidents, providing transparency and peace of mind. You can get alerts by signing up for a free StatusGator account.

    • Early Warning Signals

      If we detect a potential Plex 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.

    • Down Notifications

      If Plex 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.

    • Warning Notifications

      Warn notifications are used when Plex 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.

    • Maintenance Notifications

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

    • Status Messages

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

    • Status Details

      When Plex 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.

    • Component Status Filtering

      Because Plex 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.
