Question 1

Is Vanilla Forums down right now?

Question 2

How do I get notified when Vanilla Forums goes down?

Accepted Answer

Create a Statusfield account and subscribe to Vanilla Forums monitoring. You'll receive instant notifications via email, Slack, or webhook when Vanilla Forums experiences any service disruption. Notifications are sent within seconds of detecting status changes across all 10 Vanilla Forums components.

Question 3

Why not just subscribe to Vanilla Forums's status page?

Accepted Answer

Vanilla Forums's own subscribe button sends you every notice it publishes, at one priority, to one inbox — maintenance windows and major outages alike, across all 10 components. Statusfield lets you subscribe to only the components you depend on, and route each severity to a different place: a major outage to PagerDuty, degraded performance to Slack, maintenance to nowhere. It also keeps one dashboard for every vendor you depend on instead of one subscription per vendor, and records every status change and every alert it sent — useful when an auditor asks how you monitor third-party providers.

Question 4

What do Vanilla Forums status levels mean?

Accepted Answer

Vanilla Forums status levels indicate service health: Operational (all systems working normally), Degraded Performance (reduced functionality), Partial Outage (some components affected), Major Outage (significant service disruption), and Under Maintenance (scheduled maintenance). Statusfield tracks these statuses across 10 components to provide granular monitoring.
