About Blackboard Status and Outage Monitoring
IsDown has monitored Blackboard continuously since May 2020, tracking this Education Technology for 6 years. Over that time, we've documented 349 outages and incidents, averaging 5.1 per month.
We monitor Blackboard's official status page across 48 components organized into 4 groups. IsDown interprets Blackboard statuses (operational, degraded performance, partial outage, and major outage) to deliver precise health metrics and filter alerts by the components you actually use.
To check if Blackboard is down, IsDown combines official status data with user reports for early detection. Vendors often delay acknowledging problems, so user reports help us alert you before the official announcement.
Engineering and operations teams rely on IsDown to track Blackboard status and receive verified outage alerts through Slack, Teams, PagerDuty, or 20+ other integrations.
How IsDown Monitors Blackboard
IsDown checks Blackboard's status page every few minutes, across all 48 components. We combine official status data with user reports to detect when Blackboard is down, often before the vendor announces it.
When Blackboard status changes, IsDown sends alerts to your preferred channels. Filter by severity to skip noise and focus on outages that affect your business.
What you get when monitoring Blackboard with IsDown
Track Blackboard incidents and downtimes by severity
IsDown checks Blackboard official status page for major/minor outages or downtimes. A major outage is when Blackboard experiences a critical issue that severely affects one or more services/regions. A minor incident is when Blackboard experiences a small issue affecting a small percentage of its customer's applications. An example is the performance degradation of an application. The moment we detect a Blackboard outage, we send you an alert and update your dashboard and status page.
Get alerted as soon as users report problems with Blackboard
Blackboard and other vendors don't always report outages on time. IsDown collects user reports to provide early detection of outages. This way, even without an official status update, you can stay ahead of possible problems.
All the details of Blackboard outages and downtimes
IsDown collects all information from the outages published in Blackboard status page to provide the context of the outage. If available, we gather the title, description, time of the outage, status, and outage updates. Another important piece of information is the affected services/regions which we use to filter the notifications that impact your business.
Prepare for upcoming Blackboard maintenance events
Blackboard publishes scheduled maintenance events on their status page. IsDown collects all the information for each event and creates a feed that people can follow to ensure they are not surprised by unexpected downtime or problems. We also send the feed in our weekly report, alerting the next maintenances that will take place.
Only get alerted on the Blackboard outages that impact your business
IsDown monitors Blackboard and all their 48 components that can be affected by an outage. IsDown allows you to filter the notifications and status page alerts based on the components you care about. For example, you can choose which components or regions affect your business and filter out all other outages. This way you avoid alert fatigue in your team.

IsDown monitors a service's official status page to give our customers a more reliable source of information instead of just relying on reports from users. The integration allows us to provide more details about Blackboard's Outages, like incident title, description, updates, and the parts of the affected service. Additionally, users can create internal status pages and set up notifications for all their third-party services.
