Status Page Feature Descriptions

Down Notifications: If Slack 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: Warn notifications are used when Slack is undergoing a non-critical issue like minor service issues, performance degredation, non-core bugs, capacity issues, or problems affecting a small number of users.
Differentiates Maintenance Notices: Slack posts separate notifications for planned maintenance work. StatusGator will notify subscribers when Slack enters a pre-planned maintenance window, keeping you up to date.
Status Overview: When Slack posts issues on their status page, we collect the main headline message and include that brief information or overview in notifications to StatusGator subscribers.
Component Status Filtering: Because Slack has several components, each with their individual statuses, StatusGator can differeniate 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 a very useful feature for complex services with many components or services spread out across many regions.

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.
