About Handshake Status and Outage Monitoring

IsDown has monitored Handshake continuously since October 2022, tracking this Education Technology for 3 years. Over that time, we've documented 75 outages and incidents, averaging 1.9 per month.

We monitor Handshake's official status page across 12 components organized into 2 groups. IsDown interprets Handshake statuses (operational, degraded performance, partial outage, and major outage) to deliver precise health metrics and filter alerts by the components you actually use.

When Handshake 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 Handshake status and receive verified outage alerts through Slack, Teams, PagerDuty, or 20+ other integrations.

How IsDown Monitors Handshake

IsDown checks Handshake's status page every few minutes, across all 12 components. We combine official status data with user reports to detect when Handshake is down, often before the vendor announces it.

When Handshake 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 Handshake with IsDown

Track Handshake incidents and downtimes by severity

IsDown checks Handshake official status page for major/minor outages or downtimes. A major outage is when Handshake experiences a critical issue that severely affects one or more services/regions. A minor incident is when Handshake 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 Handshake outage, we send you an alert and update your dashboard and status page.

Get alerted as soon as users report problems with Handshake

Handshake 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 Handshake outages and downtimes

IsDown collects all information from the outages published in Handshake 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 Handshake maintenance events

Handshake 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 Handshake outages that impact your business

IsDown monitors Handshake and all their 12 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.
