About Our Illinois Century Network Status Page Integration

Illinois Century Network is an Education solution that StatusGator has been monitoring since February 2023. Over the past over 1 year, we have collected data on on outages that affected Illinois Century Network users. When Illinois Century Network publishes downtime on their status page, they do so using 3 different statuses: up, warn, and down which we use to provide granular uptime metrics and notifications.

Many StatusGator users monitor Illinois Century Network to get notified when it's down or has an outage. We've sent more than 100 notifications to our users about Illinois Century Network incidents, providing transparency and peace of mind. You can get alerts by signing up for a free StatusGator account.

If Illinois Century Network 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 are used when Illinois Century Network is undergoing a non-critical issue like minor service issues, performance degradation, non-core bugs, capacity issues, or problems affecting a small number of users.

Illinois Century Network does not post separate notifications for planned maintenance work so we are unable to send notifications when maintenance windows begin. If you need Illinois Century Network maintenance notifications, please email us.

Illinois Century Network does not publish a feed of proactive maintenance events on their status page at this time. If they do, be sure to let us know and we'll aggregate Illinois Century Network maintenance events into your unified calendar.
