How To Manage Subscriptions To Statuspage Alerts

Subscribe to receive alerts about upgrades, unplanned outages, or maintenance.

How To Subscribe

To subscribe to IT status alerts visit status.oit.duke.edu

In the upper-right corner, select the SUBSCRIBE TO UPDATES button.

Enter your email address to receive alerts by email. You will be sent a One-Time Password (OTP) to your email address.

 

Enter your email address and OTP.

Or you can select the telephone icon and enter your mobile number to receive alerts by text message.

Then select SUBSCRIBE VIA EMAIL.

Manage Initial Email Subscriptions

Once you enter your email address (non-Duke email addresses are allowed) you will be directed to a page confirming your subscription.

NOTE:  You will be required to enter a One-Time Password (OTP) sent to your email address (see above).

There, you will see a list of services or applications for which you would like to receive notifications. By default, all of the services will be automatically checked. Uncheck the services for which you do not want notifications. Then select, SAVE, at the bottom of the screen.

The notifications will come from Statuspage, an external OIT vendor, from the email address ‘noreply@statuspage.io.’ Be sure to check your spam or junk folder for a confirmation email and add the Statuspage email address to your address book.

Using IT Status Alerts With Sympa Email Listservs

For a Sympa list to receive notifications, you may have to add the Statuspage address, ‘noreply@statuspage.io,’ to the list as a subscriber.   Additionally set its mail preference to ‘no mail.’

Manage Initial SMS (Text Message) Subscriptions

After selecting SUBSCRIBE you will receive a text message verification. The SMS texts will be from various numbers in the (650) area code.

If you opt to receive IT status alerts by SMS, note that you will only receive notifications when an outage is initially posted and when the outage is closed; you will not receive real-time updates.

As with email subscriptions (see above), on the next screen uncheck any services or applications that you do not want to receive alerts on and then select SAVE.
